NOTE ON THE ENTRIES IN THE CALENDAR.
Similar remarks to those made in the note on p. vii to the second
volume apply to the third. The formal entries relating to admittances
to and viewing of chambers have been omitted, and the
regular entries which occur at certain intervals, such as allowances to
watchmen and other officers of the Inn, the assessment of pensions,
when single, and fines for non-attendance at vacations, have, as a
rule, also been left out. Owing to the large increase in the amount
of business, transacted principally at the Bench Table, towards the
end of the seventeenth and during the eighteenth century, such
matters, other than those before referred to, as are formal, both in
the Acts of Parliament and Bench Table Orders, have been calendared
as shortly as possible ; at the same time everything of general
interest has been abstracted fully. The headings to the minutes of
the several Parliaments and Bench Tables which show the attendances,
became so frequent and occupy so much space, that it has
been thought it would meet all requirements to summarize the
attendances at the beginning of each year, and this course has been
adopted from the commencement of the reign of William and Mary
(p. 259).
The accounts have been dealt with in the same manner as in
the earlier volumes, the first account for each reign being abstracted
fully, and some intermediate accounts being treated in a like way.
The Index and Glossary have been compiled upon the same
principle as in the previous volumes.

INTRODUCTION.
HE Inner Temple, like other parts of the country, was
cio well prepared for the restoration of the monarchy.
061
CHARLES I I
Mr. Richard Goddard, a royalist, who had been vol. ii.,
elected treasurer in October, 1659, remained in office
until the election of Sir Heneage Finch, the king's
solicitor-general, in November, i66 . Barristers
favourable to the royal cause were put on the bench, and serjeantsat-law
were created. Those members of our society who were
qualified took part in the coronation procession, and the usual bonfires
attested the loyalty of the gentlemen of the inns of court. But
the entire community was occupied with the change of government
and its consequential difficulties. The disposal of the regicides, the
disbanding of the army, the distribution of places, the reconstitution
of the judicial benches, the re-establishment of the church, and the
passage of the new prayer book through the house of commons
were matters requiring not a few months for their elaboration and
many more to carry them into effect, so that subjects of minor
importance were treated as of no account. In other respects the
current of the inn flowed on as before, and nothing of moment

INTRODUCTION.
happened to trouble the peace of the inn until the outbreak of the
plague in 1665.
In Michaelmas term, i66o, the new serjeants, of whom there were
fourteen, comprising six from our inn, met in the Inner Temple hall
and, after counting, went in procession to the court of common pleas,
where they were received by the chancellor and the judges. A long
and detailed account of the ceremony is given by Siderfin, who was
present, and it is repeated by Foss.' It was similar to previous
creations of serjeants, although, the number being larger, there was
probably a greater attendance and more display.
On Thursday, the t5th of August, 1661, Sir Heneage Finch,
Bart., solicitor-general, being reader of the inn, gave his feast in the
antient hall. This, as it then stood, had a large window at the east
end, to which light was admitted over a small low library, which
occupied the ground between the hall and the new brick buildings.
It also had short windows to the north, over some chambers of one
story called Twisden's buildings, and long windows to the south,
through which the light came without interruption. The eastern
window was filled with large coats of arms, including those of Edward
the Confessor, Queen Elizabeth, King James I., and numerous distinguished
noblemen and chancellors. A list of these, some twentyfour
in all, as they then existed, is given in Dugdale's " Origines
Juridiciales," Sir Thomas Littelton, K.B., the author of the
" Tenures," being the only person, not a nobleman or a chancellor,
honoured with a place in that window. In those on the north side
were twelve coats, on the south were twenty coats—showing, as appears
from old drawings, that the windows looking southward were nearly
twice the depth of those looking towards the north.' To this feast the
king was bidden. He came in the royal barge from Whitehall accompanied
by the Duke of York, the lord chancellor, various ministers
of state, and a great number of the nobility. A portion of the retaining
wall being removed to provide a landing stage for the royal party,
the king and his company landed from the river in the Inner Temple
garden, where they were received by the reader and by Sir Orlando
Bridgman, a former member of the inn, but now chief justice of the
I " Judges," vol. vii., p. 32.

Dugdale, fo. 186, gives these coats of arms.

common pleas, in his robes of office and his collar of SS. The following
description is given by Dugdale, garter king-at-arms, who was
probably present on the occasion :
" On each side as his majesty passed stood the reader's servants in scarlet
cloaks and white tabba doublets ; there being a way made through the wall
into the Temple Garden, and above them on each side the benchers, baristers
and other gentlemen of the society, all in their gowns and formalities the
loud music playing from the time of his landing till he entred the hall ; where
he was received with xx violins, which continued as long as his majesty stayed.
Dinner was brought up by fifty select gentlemen of the society in their gowns
who gave their attendance all dinner while, none other appearing in the hall
but themselves ; the King and the Duke of York sitting under a canopy of
state at a table set at the upper end of the hall, advanced three steps above
the rest. The Lord Chancellor with the rest of the noblemen sitting at a long
table on the right side of the hall ; and the reader with those of the society on
the other side."
After the dinner the Duke of York, the Duke of Buckingham,
the Earl of Dorset and Secretary Morris were admitted members of
the society. At the first ensuing parliament, viz. : on 3rd November,
1661, the Duke of York was by special order called to the bar and
also to the bench, and an order was made that his arms be set up in
the eastern window of the hall. A transcript of the order calling
the duke to the bench was framed and glazed and, until a comparatively
recent date, was still to be seen in the parliament chamber.2
In 1671 the king and the duke again honoured the treasurer with p. 81
their presence on Candlemass day, on which occasion the hall was
again arranged for their reception, and a performance of " The Committee,"
a comedy by Sir R. H oward, was given for their entertainment
by the players of the king's house. The reader's feast of 1661 was
the last of the great entertainments chronicled by Dugdale or by any
later historian. Other festivities were honoured by the presence of
kings, queens, and great officers of state, but they were of a more
modern type and were wanting in those picturesque details which
delight the artist and the antiquary.
In November, 1661, an order was made by the benchers with p. 6

according to Pepys, went to the theatre and saw " The Witts," a comedy by Sir
William Davenant. (Diary, vol. ii., p. ic12.)

xii INTRODUCTION.
the object of reducing the cost of entertainments, so that members
might not, by fear of the necessary expense, be hindered taking the
post of reader. To prevent possible disorders at Christmas the
commons were dissolved from S. Thomas' day to Epiphany, and the
penalty of expulsion from chambers was added to other punishments
p. 2 2 incurred by disorderly conduct. I n F ebruary, 1663-4, an order was
p. 3o made as to moots. In June, 1664, an order in council was issued to
all the inns of court and of chancery nearly identical with that prop.
83 mulgated by King James in November, 1614. It was signed by the
chancellor (Clarendon), by the chief justice, the chief baron, and
other judges, and among other details it defined once more the rep.
30 spective positions of the barrister and the attorney-at-law, and
declared that from henceforth no common attorney or solicitor,
" they being ministerial persons of an inferior nature," should be
admitted to any of the four houses of court, though they might
be admitted, as before, to the inns of chancery.
The plague, which had for many years periodically visited
the Temple, found the lawyers as ready as ever to deal with its
advance by flying from its contagion. This was the time-honoured
and generally successful plan adopted by the inn. On notice of any
case of suspicious sickness within the society, commons, moots, and
readings were postponed, and the inhabitants betook themselves to
the country homes of their parents or their friends. The great
pp. 37-40 scourge of 1665 accordingly found the Temples deserted, and beyond
the notices of adjournment in the summers of 1665 and 1666 no
record of those dismal months appears in our books.' The great
fire which occurred in the following year was a matter of far greater
concern. It found us entirely unprepared. No appliances for dealing
with an extensive fire seem to have been anywhere provided or
even understood. Although the inn was well supplied with water
from the New River and an unlimited quantity was procurable from
the Thames, yet there were no means at hand to turn the flow of
water on to the burning piles. The fire commenced about two
o'clock in the morning of Sunday, 2nd September, 1666. A northeasterly
wind was then blowing and the flames were thus rapidly
I Among the burials, however, there are, between August and November, 1665,
twelve deaths registered as " of the plague," irfluding that of the steward of the Inner
Temple. See Appendix, p. 450.

carried towards the west. During the whole of Sunday and Monday
the fire raged through the city, skirting the river-banks to the southwest
and reaching Holborn to the north. On Tuesday the 4th it
had arrived at Whitefriars, on the eastern boundary of the Inner
Temple. Fleet Street, Ludgate Hill, and Fetter Lane were in
flames, and it seemed that nothing could save the inn with its venerable
church. During the night, however, the wind fell, and with it
the great onward force of the fire slackened, so that on Wednesday,
the 5th, hopes were entertained of saving the western suburbs of
the city.
The solidity of the brick building recently erected in King's
Bench Walk gave a temporary check to the advance of the fire, and
the judicious use of gunpowder within our walls, by making open
spaces, hindered the further progress of the flames. Thus, though a
great portion of the inn was destroyed, yet the fire was stayed at the
confines of the church, and the flames which had swallowed up the
cathedral of King Ethelbert, spared the chapel of the knights
templars. On Thursday evening, the 6th, the fire broke out again
in the Inner Temple owing, as was supposed, to some sparks falling
upon a pile of wooden buildings. But the templars with their
servants, acting under the orders of the Duke of York,' a bencher
of the inn, who remained all night and personally superintended the
operations, succeeded before morning, by the free use of gunpowder,
in stopping the progress of the flames and saving the inn from
further destruction. In this they were also aided by the soldiers
who had been sent to the city to assist in dealing with the fire,
by the sailors from the fleet, and by four engineers whom the
benchers employed to aid in the demolition of buildings within P. 41
the inn. The exact amount of injury done to the Temple is not
easily ascertained. A map in the possession of the society has
a line drawn across it showing the limits of the fire, and the
investigations which I have been able to make into this subject
show the line to be substantially accurate. According to this map,
which was published by John Ogilby in 1677, the whole of what is
now known as King's Bench Walk, the Alienation buildings, Mitre
Court buildings, Tanfield Court, a block corresponding with and
then known as Lamb buildings, the whole of the buildings upon the

area now covered by the library, the class rooms and the parliament
chamber with the offices below, were consumed by the fire.
The church appears to have been nearly touched at the south-eastern
corner, but in other respects to have been saved by reason of its
open position, although it was dangerously surrounded by small
shops built up against its southern and western walls. All the
houses from the north of the churchyard and from King's Bench
Walk to Fleet Street, including Ram Alley, Mitre Court, and Serjeant's
Inn, were burnt to the ground, but the Inner Temple Lane,
the gateway built in the time of King James I., and the buildings
immediately abutting upon it seem to have escaped. Fig Tree
Court does not appear to have come under the direct influence of the
fire. It was probably burnt or partially blown up during the Wednesday
or the Thursday night when the fire broke out again in the
Temple. The object in blowing up this portion of Fig Tree Court
would have been to save the antient hall and the cloisters which
communicated with the church in the preservation of which both
societies were jointly interested. The entries in the records corroborate
the line of Ogilby's map, and show that the following
buildings were undoubtedly destroyed :
p. 43 King's Bench Walk, including the Crown Office, the King's Bench Office,
and the small lodges adjoining the river.
p. 50 The Alienation Office in its large garden and the Exchequer Office.
The buildings by Ram Alley (formerly called Fuller's Rents) at the top
of King's Bench Walk and the Alienation garden.

p. 44 The Master's house, which stood to the north of the church and of Tanfield
Court.
The whole or the greater part of Fig Tree Court.
p. 43 The end of the Inner Temple hall was burnt and narrowly escaped destruction.
It is probable also that much damage was done which is included
under the headings of repairs, rebuildings of staircases, and similar
entries. The Middle Temple, including the cloisters, was not
touched by fire upon this occasion, unless it may have been affected
by the partial destruction of Fig Tree Court. Old Paper Buildings,
the subject of much discussion in previous reigns, with their gravel
court yards and their galleries looking into the garden where Selden
and his friends congregated, were left intact, though the trees under

which the templars were wont to walk must have suffered considerably.
Serjeants Inn in Fleet Street, the principal home of the
serjeants and the judges, which stood in a garden adjoining the
Inner Temple was, with its hall, its chapel and its kitchen, burnt to
the ground. According to Dugdale1 the windows of the hall or
refectory of the serjeants contained, in 1664, as many as forty-three
coats of arms of fellows of the inn. The chapel, in its south window,
also had one coat, that of Serjeant Bedlowes, who died in 1596. The
hall was rebuilt at the cost of the then fellows of the inn, but the
judges and serjeants thenceforward mainly used the smaller and
more modern Serjeants Inn in Chancery Lane.

rebuilt in 1610 by John Bennet, one of the king's sergeants at v. O.. 2, p. 51
arms, who had received his appointment on the i4th of July, 1609.2 It
was surmounted by a handsomely decorated house projecting slightly
into Fleet Street. It contained three stories of rooms, one of which
was and still is decorated with the badge and cypher of Henry
Prince of Wales, eldest son of King James, who died in November,
1612. The second and third floors projected each beyond the other,
and the first and second had large bay windows facing the street.
The exterior was decorated with the Prince of Wales' feathers and
other emblems. On the third or upper story, was a gallery from
which the household could, on occasions, assemble to witness the
various processions entering and leaving the city. Behind this gallery
were the upper rooms of the house, surmounted by two gables, one
immediately over the gateway and one towards the east. The space
occupied by our gateway was about half the breadth of the house, to
which the entrance was through a door to the east. It was called
the Prince's Arms, a name which it retained for many generations.3
S. Dunstan's church and two or three houses to the eastward on
either side of the road were all in Fleet Street that survived the
great fire. Of the buildings, except the church, now to be found in

hall, referred to in a previous volume, are all that remain to the society
of that which was standing before the fire of London.'
Dr. Ball, who was appointed master of the Temple in February,
1661, had a chamber allotted to his use without payment of rent.
He felt, however, that the providing of a suitable house for the
master was " a matter of civil as well as of sacred concern." And
the two societies, concurring in that sentiment, resolved in May, 1664,
that, upon his building such a house in the garden at the east end of the
church, he should have the exclusive use of the same so long as he
remained master of the Temple. The benchers of the Inner Temple
in furtherance of this object gave Dr. Ball out of their funds the sum
of Ioo towards the cost of such building. In January, 1664-5, the
building being apparently complete, Dr. Ball, in a petition to this
house, after thankfully acknowledging the help and the sympathy
which he had received from the society, stated that beyond the
which he had thus acquired he had already expended over £150, and
prayed for some alleviation of the burthen he had taken upon himself.
This was referred to a committee, and upon their report in
February, 1665, a further sum of oo was granted to the master
" to be paid out of the treasury of this house towards his great disbursements
about the building of his house in the garden at the east
end of the church." The master had thus been little more than a
year in his new home when his exertions and his self denials were
rendered nugatory by the great fire, which burnt down the house he
had just succeeded in erecting.
The payments in respect of this fire appear to have been as
follows :
" To Mr. Lyster of the bench for defraying the charges of the fire, £ioo.
P. 41 To Samuel Hale for watching in the fire time, LI 15s.
To 4 engineers that worked at the fire by order of the bench, .4.4.

the fire, Li 8s.
To Fifield for his attendance after the fire, 4-6.

On the 28th October, 1666, the benchers commenced proceedings
for the reconstruction of the inn. They appointed a committee P. 40
of nine of their number " to consider of the new buildings to be
erected in the house and to take into consideration all the circumstances
touching the same." On the 3oth November a committee of p. 42
seven with a quorum of three was appointed " to treat with any
persons and to settle all matters in reference to the rebuilding of the
society," and leave was given for the immediate commencement of a
portion of Tanfield Court and of certain chambers in Fig Tree P. 42
Court. On the 27th January, 1666-7, an agreement was made with P. 43
Francis Phelips, a bencher, for the rebuilding of " those chambers
and rooms called King's Bench building, lately consumed by fire."
This sets out certain conditions upon which the chambers throughout
the inn were rebuilt by its members. Phelips was to erect these
buildings, at his own cost, and not to be liable to the society for any
fine in entering upon them. He, his executors and assigns, were to
have a grant of the chambers, when built, for three consecutive lives,
with power during that period to admit thereto, and to receive payment
of fines for admission, from any persons who were members of
the inn. The houses were to be four stories high. The former
occupants of chambers were to have a preferential right of admission,
and the masters of the crown and of the king's bench offices were to
have a right to a treaty with Phelips for the re-erection of their respective
offices. In the following February an arrangement was made P. 44
with Dr. Ball, by which he undertook to lay out %-400 in the rebuilding
of his house, which had been burnt down. He was to build
in brick, and, in consideration thereof, was to have a lease for thirtyone
years commencing from his death or his ceasing to be master.
He, or his executors, were on the commencement of such thirty-one
years to offer the house to the two inns at a rental of ,440 a year for
the whole time. If they declined, then he or his executors were to
offer it to the master for the time being for £40 a year, and if he
declined then he or they were to be at liberty to let it to any member
or members of either inn at such rents as might be agreed, The rebuilding
of the chambers by Ram Alley was undertaken by some pp. 45, 46
members of the society in the spring of 1667. Ram Alley itself was

xvili INTRODUCTION.
also rebuilt, and those interested in the subject will find the Ram
Alley of the restoration under the name of Hare Place. It is
entered from Fleet Street between the gateway of Serjeant's Inn and
the Mitre Tavern. There is no longer any entrance from Ram
Alley to the Temple. Mitre Court and the Mitre Tavern were also
rebuilt, and the gate into Mitre Court, as to which frequent orders
may be found in the earlier volumes of these records, was re-erected,
p. 5o and is still closed at night and opened in the morning. The Alienation
office, with its sets of chambers looking into the Alienation
garden, was rebuilt by the crown, and in consideration thereof the
king and his successors had the right to admit to such chambers any
member of the inn without fees to the society for such admission.
p. 50 Arrangements similar to those with Mr. Phelips were made
with any members of the inn who desired to rebuild the chambers
p. 51 which they had occupied, and among others Roger Twisden, son of
the judge, was licensed to build on the north side of the hall and to
have a lease for two lives. A stipulation was, however, inserted
that he should put a leaden roof. Other members, all " burnt
interest persons," undertook the building of chambers in continuation
pp. 61-64, 69-70 of those erected by Mr. Phelips in King's Bench Walk. The certifip.
72 cates as to the foundations for these buildings bear the name of
Christopher Wren. In respect of this matter he appears to have
received, as surveyor-general, a fee of £5. Generally it may be said
that any members of the society who lost their chambers by the fire
were enabled to rebuild, at their own cost, on the same advantageous
terms as were granted to Mr. Phelips and others. The library and
a moot chamber under it, at the east end of the hall, were rebuilt by
p. 48 the society during the year 1667 at the cost of £43o• They were
P- 53 painted at a cost of ,-32 15s. and were wainscotted at a cost of ,‘136.
Towards this expense of ,4-598 i5s. Sir Heneage Finch contributed
p. 6o the sum of ZI50, a memorandum of which generous gift was duly
entered on the minutes of February, 1668-9. After this " Samuel
p. 8o Walker, painter and herald," was commissioned to paint for the library
the escutcheons of past readers at 3s. each. Those of new readers
were to be paid for at the rate of 5s. each. For this work he received
p. 81 in all _4'28 7s. od., the price of the arms of 189 past readers at 3s. each,
and in the following year he put up the arms of six recent readers at
the price of 30s. The rebuilding of the inn was thus energetically

INTRODUCTION. Xi X
taken in hand and rapidly completed, so that in February, 1671, the
treasurer was able to show to the king and his brother a new temple
raised upon the ashes of the old domain.
During the period of trouble immediately following the great
p. 81
fire, London was thrown into a panic by the appearance of the dutch
fleet in the Thames. Our two great warships the " Royal Charles "
and the " Royal James," were burnt, and the city was threatened with
a blockade. Accounts of the popular feeling at that time are given
by Pepys,' by Evelyn,' and by Macaulay.3 The town lay helplessly
at the mercy of the enemy, and probably our society did all that was
practicable or even possible when they appointed two of their
servants to keep a good look out " at the time when the Dutch fleet
came into the River." The enemy dictated their own conditions of
peace, and the nation was fain to submit to the defeat and indignity
as one of the penalties for a restoration of the Stuarts. But the
business of rebuilding their city still occupied the minds of the people,
and disregarding for the moment the foreign intrigues of their rulers
and the disasters to the fleet, they devoted their energies to the
accomplishment of this great object. Thus in the course of some
four or five years from the date of the great fire the Inner Temple
was rebuilt, and the students and barristers of the society were reestablished
in their homes under sounder, healthier, and more commodious
conditions.
In the spring of 1668-9, one of our periodical contests with the
city broke out, and this introduces us to George Jeffryes, then recently
called to be a barrister of our society. The Temples had from the
earliest times declared themselves to be extra parochial and beyond
the jurisdiction of the city authorities, while the latter claimed that
the Temples were within the suburbs of the city lying outside the
city walls. The subject had been discussed under the commonwealth,
when it was held that the Temples were not for any purpose,
either of assessment or otherwise, within the jurisdiction of the city
of London. The templars also contended that the lord mayor had
no right, as lord mayor, to bear up his sword within their confines,
and thus assume a jurisdiction equivalent to a royal control over
them and their society. On this occasion the lord mayor, Sir William

Turner, had agreed to dine with Mr. Goodfellow, the reader of the
Inner Temple, who was about to be created a serjeant at law, and the
dinner was fixed for Wednesday, 3rd March, 1668-9. The lord mayor
had somehow communicated to the reader his intention of coming
in state, with his officers, and of bearing up his sword through the inn
and within the hall. Upon this being known the whole society
p. 66 protested, and the reader sent two of the fellows, Thomas Wroth and
George Jeffryes to see his lordship and endeavour to accommodate
matters. These two gentlemen had an interview with the lord
mayor and the aldermen, and pointed out to them that the members
of the inn were satisfied that, by law and by precedent, the lord
mayor was not entitled to bear up his sword within the Temple, and
that they were determined. to insist on their rights. If, however, the
mayor would accommodate them as to this particular ceremony, he
would be received with every mark of cordiality and respect. The
mayor then said he would not come at all, but being further pressed
P. 67 by Mr. Jeffryes with personal compliments, hoping thus to come to
some agreement, the lord mayor retired to consult with the aldermen.
On his return he sent a message to the reader " I will come and dine
68 with him. I will bear up my sword and see who dares to take it
down." This challenge to the inn was promptly accepted. In the
afternoon of this same day, the lord mayor with the sheriffs and a
retinue of officers, came to the Inner Temple, entering through the
Inner Temple lane. As the party entered the cloisters they were
met by the barristers and students of the inn, who informed the
lord mayor that unless he lowered his sword he would not be permitted
to enter the hall.' On his approaching the hall he found " the
great staircase of the hall " thronged with gentlemen and students,
some of whom carried their swords under their gowns, determined to
maintain the hall against any attempt to enter it by force, and crying
out to beat down the sword " in a very loud and rude manner."
Upon the mayor still persisting, a rush was made for the sword.
It was not captured, but the sword bearer was bruised, and some
of the pearls from the scabbard were knocked off in the scuffle.
The cap of maintenance was partly pulled off, and some of the

city marshal's men, having affronted the gentlemen, they were
carried off to be put under the pump, " but were not pumped." The
students, however, took away the officers' sticks, and beat them with
their own weapons. In the result the lord mayor with his retinue
took shelter in the chambers of auditor Phillips. Meanwhile the
sheriffs, with Sir John Nicholas the recorder, had gone to Whitehall
to see the king, who appears to have advised the lord mayor to
r'eturn to the city. This he attempted to do, but the templars,
headed by Mr. Hodges, son of a deceased alderman, and by some
other hot-headed youths, assailed his lordship, calling him " Mr.
Mayor," and abused the sheriffs in remarkably scurrilous and threatening
language. They also beat some of the aldermen and one of
the sheriffs, distributed black eyes among the servants, and refused
to allow the mayor to depart, if he insisted on bearing up his sword,
except by way of Ram Alley, this being regarded as the back door of
the inn. The mayor and his party were thus driven back to Mr.
Phillips' chambers, and the benchers then interposed. They obtained
an undertaking from the gentlemen that the mayor should be
allowed to depart without molestation. This he did, though he was
accompanied to the gate by the fellows of the inn shouting and
jeering at the city party.
This is the account given by the witnesses on behalf of the
city. Numerous depositions were also made by members of the
inn,' but although they do not fully admit the scurrilous language P. 65
attributed to them by the city officers, there is no substantial
dispute as to the facts of the encounter. " A hall—a hall," was
the battle cry of the templars, and to that cry the society assembled
in great numbers, and seem to have resented very deeply the action
of the lord mayor and the sheriffs. On the 2 1st of March an order
was made for the attendance before the king in council of Sir
John Nicholas, the recorder, and certain of the aldermen along P. 66
with Hodges, Morgan, Pettus, Jeffryes, Litelton, Shaw, Wyn, and
Bates, gentlemen of the Inner Temple who had been more or less
concerned in the uproar.2 On the 24th of March, Hodges, Wyn and P. 68

the Temple was submitted to the privy council, the king himself
being present, by Sir Heneage Finch (afterwards Lord Nottingham),'
treasurer of the inn. He contended that the Temple was exempted
from the jurisdiction of the mayor and aldermen of the city, and had
been so from the earliest period. That on the dissolution of the
monasteries, the crown held it as a separate franchise, and that the
patent of 6 Jac. I., conveyed the soil to the benchers with general
words which revived and continued all the antient privileges. That
even under the commonwealth the city was not permitted to exercise
any kind of authority in the Temple, although the city was much
courted by the army and the government of that day. That the
city charter was fourteen days later in date than the patent of the
Temple, and moreover that whereas certain antient exempted monasteries,
e.g., Whitefriars, Blackfriars and Smithfield, were added to
the city jurisdiction by express words, there were no such words in
regard of the Temple, which therefore retained its exemption as
against the city. He argued at some length that the inconveniences
to the Temple in being under the city would be insupportable,
whereas no inconvenience would be suffered by the city if the
exemption were upheld. The heads of his argument are very
clearly stated in his memorandum, and they seem to have produced
a good effect. The council were not prepared to decide against the
Temple, nor to punish any of the gentlemen, and on the 7th April,
1669, they made an order that the king's pleasure in the matter
be suspended till the rights and privileges of the Temple had
been tried before the courts. This put the city to bring an action
against the benchers, to have it declared that the Temple was
within their jurisdiction. But no such action was ever brought, and
although in January, 1678-9, when the lord mayor and sheriffs, again
attempting to bear up the city sword within the precincts of the
Temple, were treated with even more violence than in 1669, no
steps were taken, and no attempt, I believe, was ever made to enforce
the claim. Pepys 2 refers to this scene in the Temple of which he
gives the same account, but adds that Sir Richard Browne caused
the drums to beat for the train-bands, in answer to which the

INTRODUCTION. xxiii
students threatened to try the charter of the city. On the 7th of
April, Pepys went to the council chamber,' and heard the complaint
of the city tried against the gentlemen of the Temple for a riot when
the lord mayor was there :
" But, upon hearing the whole business the city was certainly to blame
to charge them in this manner with a riot : but the king and council did
forbear to determine anything in it till the other business of the title and
privilege be decided, which is now under dispute between them, whether the
Temple be within the liberty of the city or no. But I was sorry to see the
city so ill-advised as to complain in a thing where their proofs were so weak."
This incident is also referred to in the New View of London:2
where the conduct of the lord mayor is spoken of as an insult to
the gentlemen of the Inner Temple. The preparation of our case
was entrusted to William Petyt, exigenter of London, a great benefactor
to our society in later years, who in February, 1670-I, was
" called to the bar and to be an utter barrister of this house, for his P. 74
services done in asserting and defending the rights and privileges
of the Temple."
The fee farm rent of Lio per annum due from each of the
Temples to the crown, under the patent of 6 Jac. I., was regularly
paid into the exchequer. The receipt for this sum was taken by tally,
according to the antient practice of that office. In November, 1668, P• 52
it was notified to the inn that this fee farm rent had become part of
Queen Catherine's jointure, and an order was made that for the
future the same should be paid to Mr. Watts, her majesty's receiver.
In the spring of 1673 communications were opened with the societies
through the medium of John Lindsay, a banker in London, for the
purchase by them of this rent, subject to the payment of the queen's
jointure. A committee was appointed consisting of the treasurer P. 92
and one bencher of each inn with power to treat, and an agreement
was arranged in February, 1675-6, with the trustees for the
sale of the crown fee farm rents, by which each inn purchased
in perpetuity the fee farm rent of Jio per annum, subject to the
queen's life interest therein. The price, viz., Z8o, was by no means ToS
unduly favourable to the crown, and was probably induced by his 109
majesty's necessities. The annuity was duly paid until the death

of the queen in 1703. The transaction was carried out by Mr.
p. io8 Brent, who drew and enrolled the conveyance for ,4* I los., and received
a gratuity of £2.
On the i3th of June, 1673, what now appears a very retrograde
p. 92 movement was made in the private affairs of the society. It was
then ordered " that the three junior butlers do by the beginning of
Michaelmas term write a court-hand, and also know the antient and
accustomed way of casting up accounts by counters," under penalty
of losing their places as butlers. For many years past private and
business letters, the correspondence of statesmen, and documents of
every description, except those of a legal character, had been written
in the ordinary hand then in use, a hand not greatly differing from
that of the eighteenth century, and for a period of nearly twenty-five
years what is known as the " court-hand" had disappeared even from
the records of courts of justice.' It is not known precisely when the
" court-hand " first came into general use. It appears to have been
a continuation of the old norman system of characters introduced
by William I., which had become gradually deteriorated as years
rolled on. I think there is evidence that the court-hand became one
of the recognized systems for public writings during the reign of
Richard I I. By the time of Elizabeth it had ceased to be invariably
used, and the mixture of the court and the ordinary hand frequently
gives rise to difficulty in deciphering writings of the sixteenth century.'
In its place an ordinarylegible hand had been substituted, and an inspection
of our books will show the advantage which the use of the ordinary
text was to both writers and readers. Persons familiar with the " courthand
" must have been few, and one fails to discern what advantage
could have been anticipated by its continuance or revival. The " antient
and accustomed way " of casting up accounts was that practised in the
exchequer, the great tax collector and accountant of the nation. The
" way " was antient enough, for its practice of accounting and discharging
by counters and tallies was, according to Madox,3 at least as
old as the reign of William Rufus. In this way every payment to
the crown was made and every receipt was given, and it is fair to our
' Statute (c. 37) 26th November, 1650.

predecessors to say that this process of accounting and discharging
commended itself so much to successive governments that it continued
in force, in regard to crown accounts, until 1834. An accumulation
of tallies, at that time, caught fire and burnt down the
houses of parliament. After this the mode of computation by
counters on a chess board, and of discharge by notches in a stick, was
recognized as too antiquated for the nineteenth century, and came to
an end.' How long this system of accounts was retained in the
Temple is doubtful. The court-hand continued to be employed for
entering the admissions of students and sometimes for the acts of
parliament, but in other respects the ordinary hand quickly superseded
the antient use.'
Sometime in the month of October, 1677, a fire broke out in the
Inner Temple. Its origin is nowhere stated, but it was of a serious
character, involving the rebuilding of nearly the whole of King's
Bench Walk. Between the dates of these two fires (1666 and 1677)
considerable advance, as will be seen, had been made in the appliances
for the prevention and extinction of fire. The only precautions
that appear from the records to have been taken before the great fire
are as follows. In November, 1604, an old order for providing
leather buckets in case of fire, apparently in reference to Ram Alley,
was renewed. In November, 1650, it was " ordered that any fellow
admitted to or using any chamber or room shall take care that the
chimney therein be swept and the fire within the same room be safely
kept, under pain of 1J5 for every neglect therein or every time such
chimney shall happen to be on fire." I find, also, several entries
for " mending the engine." In 1649, 15s. In 1654, ZI 15s. od.
In 1657-8 it was twice mended, once for 13s. od., and again for
7s. In 1656-7 Stephen Cressar, the joiner, received ,4-io 7s. 7d. for
making a house for the engine. It is not stated what this engine
was, and there is no reason to suppose that it was a fire engine as
such a machine is understood at the present day. In an account of the

he is of opinion, I think correctly, that a fire engine which pumped a
continuous flow of water was not known in London until long after
the date of the great fire.
" How our ancestors endeavoured to extinguish fires we can only
guess from the nature of things. Buckets of water would be brought
and thrown upon the flaming materials by the bystanders, or the thatch of a
cottage would be pulled down, or one group of houses would be allowed to
burn itself out, and others would be tended for. After a time when the
ingenuity of machinists enabled men to use some more effective means than
mere buckets of water, a kind of syringe or squirt was employed, which seems
to have been the first rudiment of a fire-engine known in England. Numbers
of these were kept by the parochial authorities, as the small fire-engines now
are. Their construction was very simple. Each squirt was about three feet
in length, with an aperture at the lower end about half an inch in diameter
and a capacity of about half a gallon. It had a handle on each side, and was
worked by three men, thus :—two men held the squirt by the handles and the
nozzle, while a third worked a piston within it in the manner of a syringe : the
aperture was held downwards in a vessel of water while the squirt was being
filled ; and when filled the nozzle was directed upwards, and the stream of
water directed on the burning materials by the working of the piston."
In a history of the monument, by Mr. C. Welch, F.S.A.,
librarian to the corporation of London,' it is stated that the engines
in use at the time of the fire were " brass hand-squirts." In the
Guildhall museum are three of these engines, one belonging to the
ward of Aldgate in 1672, one to the parish of S. Dionis Backchurch,
and one used at the Guildhall in 1687. In the act for preventing
and suppressing fires in London, passed in 1668,2 frequent reference
is made to the provision of hand-squirts of brass, and among other
requirements each of the twelve great companies is to supply 30
buckets, i engine and 2 hand-squirts of brass, every alderman who
has been sheriff is to provide himself with 24 buckets and i brass
hand-squirt. The " engine " is left undescribed. It was probably
some contrivance for the carriage or reception of water, to be projected
on to the flames by means of these brass hand-squirts. A
manual engine throwing a continuous stream of water and worked
by several men, seems to have been the invention of Hautsch, of
Nuremberg, in 1657. The adaptation to such a machine of the

flexible hose was the work of Vanderheyde, of Amsterdam, about
1672, and it was shortly afterwards adopted in Paris. It is doubtful
when engines of this description were introduced into England.
The first representation of a fire under the influence of such engines
is to be found in an engraving of the time of William and Mary.'
It shows the inventions of J. Lofting,' a dutchman, who obtained a
patent in London for the manufacture of fire engines and was,
probably, the first person to introduce the modern system into use
in this country. It has the flexible hose and the air chamber, and is
worked as a manual engine of the present day. Within a very few
years after the great fire, however, a fire engine of some description
became known in London as a possible aid in extinguishing fire, and
it was adopted by the city. The inn, appreciating the value of such
an appliance, secured a machine described as a " water engine," which
was kept in a shed near the King's Bench office. A system was
also organized by which leathern buckets were kept in the hall, in
readiness to be passed by hand when the alarm of fire was given. P. 122
S. Bride's and S. Dunstan's parishes also provided themselves with
engines which were brought into the Temple in 1677 and assisted in
subduing the flames. The charges for payment of the men who P. 114
worked at the engine from S. Dunstan's, suggest that it was
probably of a similar construction to that described by Fairholt. This
consisted of a large tank, four or five feet in height, on low wheels
with a platform on which a man could stand. The tank or engine
being drawn to the fire, was filled with water brought in buckets.
Several men, working a manual, forced the water from the tank through
the squirt, which was directed by the man on the platform. There
was no air chamber and no continuous flow, nor was there any flexible
hose then in use. In October, 1676, a committee of the bench had been
appointed " to consider all necessary means to prevent any accidental
fires in this society, and to view tIze engine, and to report what further P. 112
number of buckets will be necessary to be added to the former, now
hung up in the hall." The second fire, therefore, did not find the
inn altogether unprepared, and it was probably owing to this circum-

were confined to King's Bench Walk. The payments made in
reference to this fire indicate, for the first time, the assistance which
the society was enabled to obtain from the neighbouring parishes and
their engines.

Early in November, 1677, within a month after the fire, a comp.
119 mittee was appointed to draw up an act for the rebuilding of the
burnt premises and to compensate and arrange with the " burnt
interest " persons under the late fire. The arrangements made with
the members of the inn were on the same scale as those after the great
fire. The houses to be rebuilt in King's Bench Walk were to comprise
cellars or basement, chambers on the ground floor and three
pairs of stairs and no more above the ground floor chambers. They
were to be 38 feet in depth, with a brick wall not less than 6 feet in
height next to Whitefriars, and a space was to be left between the
p. 122 wall and the buildings. Each builder was to have two consecutive
lives and an assignment for one life by his executors, in consideration
p. 121 of his building. He was also to be at liberty to make a way through
the Temple wall to the river, so as to bring the necessary building
material by water, and to be allowed to mix mortar and to store plant
p. 122 on the Temple land. Before commencing operations, however, he
was to deposit in respect of each chamber the sum of L50 with
" Mr. Blanchard, goldsmith, near Temple Bar."

afterwards partner with Mr. Child who founded Child's bank. "Signs of old Fleet

INTRODUCTION.
The King's Bench office, which was burnt down with the rest of p. 121, 122
King's Bench Walk, was rebuilt under an arrangement with Mr.
Livesay by which he was paid ,120 for his interest and materials in
the office, and the inn took over the reconstruction. The office was p. 123
to be built over four sets of chambers on the ground floor, with one
chimney in each, to be 8o feet in length, 30 feet in breadth, and
ii feet in height between the floor and the ceiling. It was to be
covered with lead, and to be subject to an agreement by which the
occupants were not to burn any sea coal or other fuel or firing
" saving only charcoal and billets." A computation, made by the p. 126
treasurer and the surveyor, suggested that if each occupant of the
four ground chambers paid L8o for a life, the inn might be fairly reimbursed
their outlay. Under these circumstances the new King's
Bench Office was built " one storey high as the Exchequer Office." p. 121
A very considerable portion of the King's Bench buildings must
have been destroyed, as among other " burnt interest persons " are
some claiming in respect of houses on either side of the entrance
from the Temple to Whitefriars. Leave was also given to Minors, p. 124
the head butler, to build a cellar and three stories over it at p. 119
the end of Hampson's buildings, which is also described as " the
southernmost staircase in King's Bench buildings." The rebuild- p. 12.4.
ing of King's Bench Walk suggested that of Paper Buildings, p. 126
and a proposal to this effect was under the consideration of the
bench when the next disastrous fire occurred. On No. 4 King's
Bench Walk a stone tablet commemorates the destruction and the
rebuilding of King's Bench Walk in these words :
" CONFLAGRATAM AN°. 1677. FABRICATAM AN°. 1678. RICHARD()
POWELL ARMIGER THESAURAR."
Scarcely was the rebuilding of King's Bench Walk accomplished
than a fire broke out in the Middle Temple, from which our predecessors
narrowly escaped the calamity of being once more driven
from their homes. An account of this fire and of the circumstances
under which it arose is given by Roger Norih, a member of the
Middle Temple, who at that date was inhabiting a set of chambers
in Brick Court.1 About io p.m. on Sunday, 26th January,
1678-9, smoke was seen to be coming from the chambers of Mr.
1 " The Autobiography of the Hon. Roger North ": London, 1887, pp. 36-61,
" Luttrell's Diary " : London, vol. i., p 7.

XXX INTRODUCTION.
Thornbury in Pump Court. The fire was caused by a flaming
lump of sea coal falling from the grate on to the deal boards next
the hearth, no one being in the chambers at the time. Thus
started, it burned furiously, for there was a hard frost of greater
duration and severity than had been known for years. The Thames
and the flow from the conduits were frozen so that the engines could
not work, and water could only be obtained by passing it in buckets
from hand to hand. Even this was not accomplished without difficulty,
for it froze in the transit. The house where the fire commenced
being an old building, the walls being wainscotted with oak,
and there being many deal partitions, it burned like a barrel of
pitch, and the whole of that side of Pump Court was soon ablaze.
The wind carried the fire up Middle Temple Lane towards Fleet
Street, encountering and burning certain chambers described as
" a sort of paper buildings " abutting on the lane. Part of Brick
Court to the west of the lane and part of Hare Court to the east, the
latter being the property of the Inner Temple, were also burnt. Proceeding
on its way, the fire consumed the rest of Pump Court, a great
part of Elm Tree Court and Vine Court, which was situate between
Pump Court and the cloisters. Fig Tree Court was also partially
consumed. In order to save the Middle Temple hall attempts were
made to blow up the houses at the corner of Elm Tree Court, but
the fabric being strong and well-built, the gunpowder had no appreciable
effect, and the fire was ultimately stayed at that corner by the
solid masonry of those very buildings. To save the shops in Fleet
Street a house was blown up in Hare Court, where the officials of the
P. 148 fine office kept their records. This was done with so great haste
that they were unable to remove their documents, and an act of
parliament was subsequently obtained to supply the loss that was
thus sustained. The fire now approached the outer walls of the
church. Some houses were then blown up and the shops against
the church were pulled down, with the result that the fabric of the
church escaped with a slight injury to the roof of the round. Thus,
for the second time, was the progress of the fire arrested at the portal
of the church. As in 1666 the east or, as Dryden called it, " the hostile
Belgian wind," carried the flames to the eastern end of the church
and there spent its fury, so in 1679 a wind from the west carried
the fatal fire over our houses and lanes, and having laid desolate the

INTRODUCTION. xxxi
templars' dwellings to the west of the church, stayed its destructive
progress at the church itself.
The cloisters were burnt down and the Inner Temple hall was
in great danger. The latter was, however, protected by the solid
masonry which is still to be seen in the buttery, in the offices, and at
the western end of the hall. It was thus saved, although it was once
partially on fire. Beyond the hall were the new buildings of four
stories, erected after the fire of 1666, and between them and the
eastern end of the hall was a small library of one story under the
eastern window of the hall. This the persons engaged in dealing
with the fire somewhat unnecessarily blew up. Having put too
little powder for the substantial building in Elm Court, they used so
much for this little library that the explosion scattered the timbers in
all directions, wounding several persons and endangering the lives of P. 145
many others. The linen and books, however, had been previously P. 144
removed. It would have been, as it was said, as useful to blow up
London bridge as this little room, for even had it caught alight, it
could have done no harm, as the brick and stone buildings on either
side were safe from any danger of fire. A map in the possession of
the Inner Temple portrays the inn " as it was in 1671, when the
king and the duke of York dined with the treasurer, Sir Heneage
Finch." It shows the little library at the east end of the hall, being p. 81
a building of one story with the eastern window of the hall above
it. In Ireland's " Inns of Court "' a sketch is given of the hall
and the library to the east as they stood at the end of the last
century. The fire lasted from eleven on Sunday night to noon
on Monday, and left open an area of great extent, " bounded by the
Middle Temple hall and part of Elm Court southward, the Palgrave
buildings in Old Essex Court westward, the taverns and Hare Court
northward, and the church and Inner Temple buildings eastward, all
which places lay in view of one another," so that a person standing
on the steps of the Middle Temple hall had an uninterrupted
view of the side of the Devil tavern to the west, and of the
Rainbow to the north of Hare Court, of the entrance to the church,
and of Lamb building in Tanfield Court. In the course of this
night the lord mayor, accompanied by the sheriffs, came in state

xxxii INTRODUCTION.
about midnight to visit the fire, but the gentlemen of the Inner
Temple, asserting their privileges, refused to admit him so long as
he bore up his sword, and ultimately drove him out. " At this he
went over the way to a tavern, where some say he first got drunk
and then returned, dismissing the engines he met coming from the
city." The Earl of Craven, the Earl of Faversham, some officers
of the guards, and the Duke of Monmouth, who was then courting
popularity, were also among the visitors, and rendered assistance
in quenching the fire. Lord Faversham, being too eager to help,
narrowly escaped being blown up with the records of the fine office
in Hare Court, and received a severe wound in the head from a
falling beam. John Crosse, the brewer of the society, was also a
sufferer. His brewery was at the western end of the hall, and he
p. 208 there lost beer to the value of ,4-20, which went to supply the
engine in default of water, and for which he was not compensated
until May, 1684.2
The success and the general content which followed the rebuilding
of the Inner Temple after the great fire, were hardly attained
by the Middle in their trouble. At the time of the fire in 1678-9,
there was much friction between the gentlemen of the Middle inn
and their benchers. Both inns suffered at this time from the vagaries
of the students at their Christmas festivities, although, as the benchers
of the Middle took the matter more seriously than those of the Inner,
the trouble was at that time less pronounced with us than with them.
To such an extent had this arisen, that at a meeting at Serjeant's Inn
after Christmas, 1678, the benchers of the Middle Temple were
obliged to invoke the assistance of the judges in order to obtain a
hearing. The whole society was in open rebellion, and the mediation
of the judges only obtained a delay with a view to an accommodation.
In the meanwhile the fire came and found two hostile camps. It was
thus some time before any general agreement could be arrived at as
1 " North's Autobiography," p. 38.
" The Thames being frozen, there was great scarcity of water, it being so bitter a
frost, the water hung in isecles at the eves of the houses. The engine plaid away
many barrels of beer to stop the fire : but the chief way of stopping the fire was by
blowing up houses : in doing which many were hurt, particularly the Earl of Faversham,
whose skull was almost broken : but he is now in some hopes of recovery."—

INTRODUCTION. xxxiii
to a scheme for rebuilding. This was ultimately arranged, however,
on somewhat the same lines as had been adopted by us. Not, however,
until after the gentlemen had a tumultuous meeting of their
own at " The Apollo," a room in The Devil Tavern in Fleet
Street, a house rendered famous in olden days by the society of Ben
Jonson and his literary companions. It was found on clearing the
u-round that the old foundations were not available for modern
buildings, and a new model for the inn was settled, in course of
which Vine Court, already referred to, disappeared altogether. For
the execution of this plan, after much consideration and some unsuccessful
attempts, the Middle Temple put themselves into the
hands of Dr. Nicholas Barbon2 (son of the well-known Praise God
Barbon) who had much employment and success in rebuilding houses
after the great fire. Under his auspices the Middle Temple was rebuilt,
although, after the fashion of contractors of all times, there was
a failure in the course of the work, and the benchers were ultimately
compelled to take the business over and complete it for themselves.
The rebuilding of Hare Court and other portions of the Inner Temple,
including some Inner Temple chambers over the cloisters, was
the subject of much consideration.3 It was at first proposed to
entrust the work to Dr. Barbon, who was rebuilding the Middle
Temple, but that was not accepted. There were accordingly
meetings of the two societies in the round of the church, and much
feeling appears to have been aroused. It was afterwards agreed
in July, 1679, that Hare Court and Pump Court should be rebuilt p. 135
according to a model approved by Heneage Finch, our former
treasurer, now lord chancellor. To carry out this plan a sum of PP. 135, 14 6
L496 was borrowed from Sir Robt. Sawyer, K.C. who was afterwards
attorney-general, and was elected treasurer of the inn from
1683 to 1688. The tenants of the western side of Hare Court with P. 133

from this room, is still extant in Child's bank.
He was christened " Unless-for-Jesus.Christ-thou-hadst-been-damned "-Barbon,
but after the fall of puritanism,he renounced his baptismal name and assumed that of
Nicholas. He was qualified as a physician, and began life as Dr. Nicholas Barbon.
Not succeeding, however, at this, he set up as a builder, and was skilful in restoring old
houses and streets.
The benchers during this year, as in 1678, had frequent meetings. Bench tables
were held wekly, and sometimes oftener, between January and July both in and out
of term.

their names and staircases, are given at p. 133. And as the
PP. 134, 141 owner of The Devil Tavern would not redress the nuisance of his
building over against Hare Court, the workmen of the inn were
ordered by the bench to abate it themselves. The rooms over the
p. 136 buttery at the west end of the hall, including the upper library, which
had come under the influence of the fire, were rebuilt by Sir John
H eath, a son of the chief justice of Charles I., who had been treasurer
in 1673.
The cloisters, as they stood before this fire, were " low mean
buildings," about half their present width. They were not built
over except in a part near the Inner Temple hall, where a Mr.
Newnham had some chambers. It was originally proposed by the
Middle Temple that the ground, which belonged to that society,
should be covered with chambers, and that the cloisters should not
be rebuilt, and they approached the Inner Temple with a view to
some amicable arrangement. Roger North, in his life of Lord
Keeper North, who was a bencher of the Middle Temple, gives an
account of the discussion which was referred for settlement to
Heneage Finch, the lord chancellor, as was usual in those cases.
The chancellor,' according to Roger North, " would by no
" means give way to it, and reproved the Middle Templars very
" wittily and eloquently upon the subject of students walking in even-
" ings there, and putting cases which, he said, was done in his time,
" as mean and low as the buildings were then, however it comes, said
" he, that such a benefit to students is now made so little account
" of." And thereupon the cloisters, by the order and disposition of
Sir Christopher Wren, were built as they now stand.' His plan
considerably enlarged the area of the cloisters by taking in a portion
of the churchyard, and some land both north and south belonging
to this inn. Written directions were given by him as to the position
of the columns, the strength of the floors, and the solidity of the
walls, which would render the buildings both durable and secure.
The ground plan and the elevation of the cloisters, and the chambers
above, are signed if not actually drawn by Sir Christopher,3 and it
Roger North inaccurately describes him as " Mr. Attorney." Finch ceased to
be attorney, and became Lord Keeper in 1673, and Chancellor in 1675.
" Lives of the Norths," by Hon. Roger North, London, 1826, vol. i., p. 27.
The originals of these plans are in the possession of the Middle Temple, whose

INTRODUCTION.
thus appears that this exceedingly plain and commonplace structure
was the production of the great architect. Though built under his
auspices it hardly adds to his reputation, and is unworthy of the
place or of the church to which it forms the entrance. In all the
schemes for rebuilding, great care was taken by both societies to
preserve the church, by providing that new buildings should not
touch the fabric, and thus to secure it, as far as possible, from
danger of fire by contact with inflammable matter. The cloisters
have the following inscription on a slab on the western side :
" VETUSTISSIMA TEMPLARIORUM PORTICU IGNE CONSUMPTA AN° 1.678
NOVA HZEC SUMPTIBUS MEDIJ TEMPLI EXTRUCTA AN° 1681.
GUILELMO WHITELOCKE : ARM° THESAUR°."
The library and the end of the hall were rebuilt in the year 168o,
at the cost of the society. The voluntary subscriptions from former p. 157
members of the inn amounted in the whole to ,32(:). The rebuilding
and wainscotting of the library cost £309, towards which " Sir p. 157
George Jeffryes, his majesty's serjeant-at-law," subscribed Z40. For p. 169
wainscotting the hall and setting up the screen and the music room
io was paid. A sum of ,4* bc) was also paid for carving the arms p. 169
of the society over the screen, and Lbo for carving the king's arms
in oak at the top of the hall. The explosion which had destroyed p. 169
the library must have at the same time damaged the eastern
window of the hall with the large coats of arms, which might otherwise
have been transferred to the windows of the new library.'
The pictures from this library were afterwards set up in the hall.
There were thus two libraries, one at the western end of the
hall, called the upper library, where the gentlemen during their
Christmas vacation played hazard, and the new library, to which
there was access from the hall and the benchers' rooms by a staircase,
the remains of which existed in 1866, when the present hall
was built. The losses suffered by the two societies in this
second fire were not great, except in regard to the buildings, which
Mr. North says,' " to say truth were better burnt than left, being for
benchers have kindly allowed me to inspect them. They are very similar in execution
and in paper to numerous drawings of Sir Christopher at Oxford and elsewhere.
The eastern window of the hall was still there in 1686, when it is described as p. 236
being " in some danger of falling."

the most part ragged deformed stuff." The records of the fine
office, and a portion of the Tradescant collection, comprising books
and medals, then kept by Elias Ashmole, the antiquary, in an upper
room also suffered from the fire.' Mr. North, in another connexion,
gives a description of the condition of Fleet Street during
the fire. It opens up a dismal view of the habits of some of our
neighbours, and of the risks to which, on such occasions as these, the
property of our members was subjected. " Here it was observed
that women and children stood in Fleet Street ankle deep in water
(for all the pipes were cut), which in that pinching cold night could
not have been, in such numbers and so pertinaciously as they did,
unless their husbands and friends were gone in to steal, and they
stayed expecting to carry off the booty."'
This description of the fire of 1679, by a spectator and a sufferer
in the calamity, affords a vivid illustration of the lines of Dryden on
the great fire in the " Annus Mirabilis." The poet's reference to
the cutting of the pipes, the fetching of the buckets from the
neighbouring church, the working of the engines, the ladders, and
above all the thieves who rush in as soon as the flames have scared
away the owners of property, affords a striking corroboration of the
picture drawn by Roger North of the details of the fire and of the
band of women waiting in the freezing water to receive from their
friends the proceeds of their plunder.3

The wooden shops facing Tanfield Court, with their backs
ao-ainst the church, had been a source of discomfort to the benchers
of the Inner Temple for some generations, and attempts had
been made to agree with the other inn for their removal. They vol. ii., pp. lxxvii,
215
had been rebuilt after the fire of 1666 by Roberts the panierman,
Williams the stationer, and others, when the society, with a view to I). 77
the possibility of their wishes being carried out, inserted a clause in p. tot
the lease to the tenants that such shops were held subject to the
right of the inn to cancel the lease should both houses agree to pull
down " the buildings now about the church in order to the repairing
and beautifying of the outside of the church." In the fire of 6 78-9 I). 149
they were demolished for the protection of the church, after which
some were rebuilt by Williams the stationer, who, in June, 168o, in
consideration of his expense in the matter, was given an extended
lease for thirty years at a rental of ,*6. I am not aware of any
drawing of these shops before the fire of 1678 ; but Ogilby's map, in
1671, shows the church to have been almost hidden by high wooden
buildings. A drawing by R. West' under the date of 1737 shows
the nature of the buildings after the two fires. They were low
wooden sheds as far as the fourth window to the west. Against
the round and the last windows they were of a more substantial
character and comprised one or two stories over the ground floor.
Playford's house and shop, which were at the church door at the
northern end of the cloisters, held its own and does not appear to
have been affected by either of the fires. Ireland,' referring to these
shops, describes them as " sheds and houses of a mean cast of character,
and ill suited to the situation. Here shoes, boots, wigs, and
lattitats vie with each other for pre-eminence." Among the miscellaneous
engravings in the library of the society of antiquaries' is a

serious a matter for the two societies of the Temple that the fellows of Lincoln's Inn,

term (" Black Books of Lincoln's Inn," vol. iii., p. 124).

seems to identify the stationer and his shop. The chapel of S. Ann,
which had been gradually falling into ruins, was to some extent protected
by these buildings, but we hear nothing of it during the whole
of the period covered by this volume. It was probably shut off from
the church after 1679, and what was left of it was used as a storehouse
for the papers of the fine office. It was partly hidden by the
shops that were erected over its ruins, but some portions, shewing
where it was attached to the church, are indicated in West's drawing.
It was, however, a commonplace and uninteresting building, and it
was probably no loss to the society when it was altogether removed
in 1827.1

I have set out the figures representing the work done and action
taken in respect of these three fires in 1666, in 1677, and in 1679.
The great activity and the appliances in use at the two later fires are
very remarkable in comparison with those of the former date. At that
time the whole of London seems to have been helpless and paralysed,
and the fire that consumed without hindrance 14,000 houses and
numerous churches and chapels would, with equal facility, have
destroyed the Temple, had it not been for the providential change of
wind on the night of Tuesday, the 4th of September.
A fire of comparatively small dimensions occurred in August,
1683, in the buildings erected by Sir Thomas Robinson, Bart., chief
prothonotary of the common pleas. He was at this time in the third
year of his treasurership. The fire, which originated in Hall's Coaree
house, having caught the rooms in which he lived, he leapt from the
window and was killed. He was buried in the Temple church on 7th
August, 1683, and a committee was appointed in Michaelmas term
to inquire into the circumstances of the fire, and the conduct of the
watchmen and others in relation thereto. Sir Robert Sawyer, A.G.,
was appointed treasurer in his place.

of the commonwealth, was much neglected during the early period
of Charles I I. The duty of rebuilding the inn after the fire of 1666
was probably held to be paramount to all others. But although the
money which was voted towards providing a permanent house for
the master of the Temple, showed that the society was not unmindful
of the needs of the church, yet it must be admitted that, for some
fifteen years after the restoration, little if anything had been done.
The first occasion upon which attention was officially drawn to its
p. 103 condition was in 1675. In July of that year, John Playford, the
clerk, informed the treasurer and benchers of the two societies of
several matters in the church requiring speedy repair :
" FIRST, the doors in the screen which parts the church are at this time
so much decayed and broken as they are no security to the church, wherein
now standeth the chest with ye communion plate, and also the several vestments
and books belonging to the church.
" SECOND, the pulpit is so rotten at this time and decayed as it is in
great danger of falling ; also the velvet before the pulpit and the cushion
thereto belonging, are bothe so much decayed and worn out, having been so
often mended, as much longer they cannot he serviceable.
" THIRD, there is at this time great want of a good bell in the steeple,
which want may be soon supplied if . . . the two bells, now in the steeple,
which are both cracked and useless, be cast into one, it will make an
excellent bell that will be heard into all courts belonging to both societies.
" FOURTH, the two surplices at this time belonging to the church are
both worn out."
Playford's peculiar position in regard to the church and to the
Temple, and his credit as a musician and a writer, gave much weight to
his representations, apart from their very reasonable character, and
a committee was at once appointed by this society to consider his
statement. There is no record of the action taken thereupon. But
it was a matter of equal concern to the two societies, and nothing
could be done without the concurrence of both.' A speedy agreement
under these circumstances would have been difficult, as it clearly
I). T14
involved a substantial expenditure. The condition of the interior of
the church was, however, under the consideration of the two societies,
as it appears that they had agreed to pay I 5o each for altering,
p. 113 and I suppose reconstructing the seats. In July, 1677, it was reported

that the cost which had been originally estimated and provided for
at ‘150 each, would be £300. It was thereupon ordered that the
matter be again considered, and in the meantime that the £150
advanced be repaid to the treasurer. In November, 1677, the sur- p. 124
veyor was called in to advise as to the arrangement of the pews and
a committee was appointed to organize a fund and to solicit contributions
towards the re-seating and the general repair of the p. 128
church. The alterations and repairs then recommended would
probably have been carried out forthwith, but for the disastrous fires
of 1677 and 1678-9. These so fully occupied the minds, and were
so heavy a draught upon the funds of the two societies and of their
individual members, that the reparation of the church naturally stood
over until the rebuilding of the two inns had been nearly completed.
In the meantime, however, some work was done by private subscriptions
; Lady Rainsford and Lady Littleton gave o towards the P. 143
repair of the church windows, Lady Wilde gave o for the same
purpose, and Serjeant Crooke gave £20 towards the repairs since
the fire. The king's arms were put up in the window of the church
in 168o at a cost of Z4 to this society, and the chief butler has an p. 157
entry of work done by Daniel Ireland, the glazier, in the Inner
Temple church, LI 4s., probably a repair to a window on the south
side. Playford's suggestion as to the recasting of the two cracked
bells, so as to make one sound bell, was carried out after the church pp. 238, 254
was restored.' There is at present only one bell which bears the
following inscription :2
"Sir R. Sawyer, A.G. t. Inner Temple, Sir Henry Chauncy t. Middle p. 239
Temple, John Bartlet made me 1686."
In 1681-2 Sir Christopher Wren was requested to advise the P. J73
societies as to the requirements of the church. In May, 1682, he
reported that the church was " very ruinous for want of repair," and
that the cost of the necessary work would be not less than £1,400.
This outlay was undertaken by the two societies, and it was ordered
that there be an aid roll to which every bencher be assessed at £3,
every barrister at £2 5s., and every gentleman under the bar at

p• 177 los. As, however, the collection of these sums required much
pp. 18o, 181 time, and the repairing and repewing of the church, with the providing
of a new pulpit, were works that required immediate attenp.
177 tion, Sir Thomas Robinson, the treasurer, undertook to provide the
necessary funds upon an indemnity being given by the society.
p. 198 Under these conditions the work went forward. The church was
p. 212 entirely repaved with alternate squares of black and white marble,
the walls were wainscotted up to the bottom of the windows, square
pews were constructed within the five aisles formerly described, the
round was separated from the oblong portion of the church by a carved
oak screen and organ loft, and the high and subsidiary altars, with
whatever remained of their original construction, were replaced by a
carved altarpiece reaching several feet above the bottom of the
centre window. A tall pulpit and reading-desk, with an elaboratelycarved
sounding-board, were placed in the centre aisle, about half
way down the church.
On the floor one step led from the nave to the pews and two
steps from the nave to the altar. The screen went completely across
the church and blocked the beautiful view from the western door to the
altar. The central archway was occupied by the organ, which, with its
ornamental front, ran up nearly to the ceiling. Entrance to the north
and south aisles of the church was through the doorways under the side
arches. The carved work behind the altar and the carvings over the
organ were by Grinling Gibbons.' The former appears from the
accounts to have cost the two societies at least Z57o. The columns of
p. 199 the church, however, were disfigured and endangered by numerous
monumental slabs, to support which the marble was cut away. The
handsome monuments of Plowden, of Martin, and of the bishop,
were still retained against the walls, where numerous tablets were
also to be seen.' In the round portion the figures of the knights
were inclosed within rails which were painted and gilt. Among other
entries in relation to the church, I find in the accounts for 1673-4
p. 98 a payment of £3 los. " For painting and mending the Crucifix."

Temple was also built at this date at a cost to the society of £60. p. 212
Thenceforward burials took place in this vault, which was not finally p. 264
closed until the present century.
A summary of the expenditure on the church at this period
shows the inn to have contributed £952 16s. od. The church was P. 198
opened to the public on the II th February 1682, when the Bishop p. 212
of Rochester preached, and was entertained at a dinner given by
the two societies in the master's house. On the following Sunday P. 199
there was a special sermon by the Revd. John Standish, D.D., chaplain
in ordinary to his Majesty.2
A good description of the church as it existed in 1703, less than
twenty years after the completion of the work, is to be found in the
" New View of London." The author says :
" It is built of the antient Gothic Order, the Walls Stone, covered with
finishing and strengthened with Buttresses : has a Treble Roof covered with
Lead and supported with neat pillars of Sussex Marble and the floor of the
whole is paved with black and white marble : that of the Chancel 2 steps

the tipes of the church," " cutting a hole for the type to hang to." According to the
terms of the period the word " type " had several meanings. One was the canopy over
the pulpit, which in this case hung from the roof. Another was the capping of a turret
which was gilt at the same time as the folding doors. See " Glossary of Architecture."

Nothing appears to have been done to the chapel of S. Ann,
which is described by Sir Robert Smirke1 as a small antient building
consisting of a crypt with a vaulted chamber over it, both formerly
communicating with the church. In 1827 its removal became
necessary by reason of its ruinous and decayed condition. It had
formed no part of the original edifice of the round church, but had
been built up against the walls at a subsequent date. Closer
investigation showed that this date could not have been many years
after the completion of the eastern portion of the church, and that it
was in fact nearly contemporaneous with it.
The restoration and embellishment of the church, under the
superintendence of Sir Christopher Wren, seem to have suggested
to the societies the propriety of providing an organ suitable to the
199 place and worthy of the two houses. For this purpose they took

the opinion of Dr. Blow and other masters of music, and entertained
them at a dinner at the joint expense. Following upon this conference,
the treasurers of the two inns, viz., Sir Thomas Robinson of
the Inner and Sir Francis Withens of the Middle, had a conversation
in September, 1682, with Bernard Smith, the king's organ maker,
who had already built the organ for Westminster Abbey.' The
subjects under discussion were the making of an organ for the church
and the setting up of an organ loft, both to be, as suggested, under
the superintendence of Bernard Smith. The conversation, however,
did not amount to a contract, and shortly afterwards the name
2
of Renatus Harris was submitted to the benchers as that of a
proper person to build their organ. Not being able to decide at
once, the benchers agreed, in 1682-3, that if each artist would set up
an organ in one of the halls, they would choose that organ for the p. 194
church which had " the greatest number of excellencies." In the
meantime one Phillips, who had made a case for the organ to be
erected in the church, was ordered to remove it forthwith. The p. 191
artists were subsequently permitted to erect their organs in the
church. Harris's was placed on the south side near the communion p. 197
table, and Smith's between the church and the round walk. In the
summer of 1684 the two organs were completed and the competition
began. Dr. Blow and Purcell, two famous organists, played for
Smith, and Giovanni Battista Draghi,3 organist to Queen Catherine,
performed for Harris. Both organs appear to have been of great
excellence in every respect, so that the general public as well as the
benchers were very undecided as to which was the finer instrument.
The competition became tedious, the partisans of the respective candidates
caused scandal by the violence of their attitude, and the
question promised no early solution, when the benchers of the Inner
Temple, on the 26th May, 1685, appointed a small committee to
confer with a committee of the Middle Temple to nominate some p. 223
persons as judges to decide between the two competitors. On the p. 225
2nd June, 1685, the Middle Temple passed a resolution in favour of

purchasing the organ of Bernard Smith as the more suitable for the
church. The Inner Temple, however, declined to take upon themselves
to select the organ, and insisted on the joint appointment of
p. 226 skilled persons to make the selection. Resolutions were passed by
the two societies and meetings of a joint committee were held, but
each society adhering to its resolution, the Middle insisting on the
PP. 227 and 230 selection of Smith's organ and the Inner, without objecting to Smith
or adhering to Harris, insisting that the selection of so costly and
important a possession should be guaranteed by the opinions of
certain of the best and most independent masters of music in England,
the matter came to a deadlock. In this position the two
societies took the course which was always adopted under similar
circumstances. As they had recently acted in regard to Hare Court
and afterwards as to the rebuilding of the cloisters, so they did with
regard to the organ. They applied to the lord chancellor to arbitrate
between them. On the 26th of June, 1685, the Middle Temple
appointed a committee " to state in writing the matters in difference
between the society and the Inner Temple about the choice of an
organ for the Temple church," and to attend the lord keeper
thereon.' The lord keeper at this date was Francis North, Lord
Guilford, who, however, died in September, 1685, and nothing was
done by him in the matter. In February, 1685-6, another committee
2 was appointed to apply to the lord chancellor for his
determination upon the subject. The chancellor then was Lord
Jeffryes, who appears to have taken the matter in hand and to have
decided in favour of Bernard Smith's organ. The tradition, therefore,
which has come down from Tudway 3 ( 1 7 5 - 1726) to the present
time, that the Temple organ was the choice of Lord Jeffryes
seems, like nearly all traditions connected with the law and its professors,
to have a substantial foundation in fact. That Jeffryes was
a member of the Inner Temple and had a voice or a casting vote in
the choice is not consistent with the facts. Jeffryes was no longer a
member of the inn. He had left the society in 168o when he was
created a serjeant, in the same way that Lord Guilford had left the
Middle Temple on his being appointed chief justice of the common

INTRODUCTION. xlvii
pleas in 1674. Nor is there any reason to credit Jeffryes with a
knowledge of music. He became the umpire between the two
societies solely by reason of his being the lord chancellor, and, as
such, the person who customarily settled differences between them
which could not be adjusted by means of a conference or a joint
committee.
The benchers acted with much liberality towards these two
artists. To Smith, the full price of his organ was paid and he
received a salary for tuning and repairs. To Renatus Harris this
society, in consideration of his expenses and his labours, advanced
£200 upon his bonds,' which they afterwards in February, 1690, p. 238
ordered to be delivered over to him. The price of the organ appears Pp. 244, 271
to have been Ji,000, of which this inn paid £500. The matter of the
organ was thus concluded in 1686, and it was afterwards erected on
the spot designed for it by Sir Christopher Wren. The societies
seem, however, to have been in no hurry to introduce the melody of
an organ into the service of the church, for it was not until 27th of
May, 1688, that the first organist was appointed. Mr. Francis Pigott
occupied that position at a salary of £25 a year, from each society, p. 248
" he providing and paying thereout an able blower," and Do a year pp. 370, 385, 393,
was paid to Bernard Smith, by each inn, for cleaning and tuning his 398, 417
organ.
A memorandum in the miscellaneous papers,' bearing date
about 1735, and giving an account of the present organ and its
selection, has the following statement. " It does not appear there
was any organ in the church before the year 1685." How far that
may be an accurate statement is open to doubt. There is, however,
no reference in any part of the proceedings in 1682-86 to any old
organ, or indeed to any organ having been in the Temple church
recently before that date. The only references in our records to the
existence of an organ are of a very early period. In the inventory
of the possessions of the knights templars at the New Temple in
London, when their property was confiscated by Edward II., in
1307, is an entry, " In the church . . . Two pairs of organs, price
4osh."4 In the reign of Henry VIII. (3oth January, 1518-19) an Vol. i., P. 45

order was made for " a roll containing the names of members of the
society, in order that from them may be raised 7os11.,for new organs
in the church, for the part of the Inner Temple." It would appear,
therefore, that at an early period, an organ, or, as the expression then
was, "a pair of organs," were used in the church, although there is
no record of any dealing with or renewal of the organs from 1519 to
the date now under consideration, a period of over 16o years.
With the exception of the plans of the cloisters, to which I have
referred as being in the possession of the Middle Temple, I have not
had the good fortune to meet with any drawings of Sir Christopher
Wren used either in the Temple or in the Temple church. There
is, however, among the collection of Wren's drawings at All Souls,
Oxford,' of which college he was a fellow, a drawing for a church,
unnamed. It represents the western end of a church with a carved
oak screen extending across the building. This is surmounted by
an organ gallery, carrying a large organ ornamented with carvings
and with hanging drapery. It has a very considerable resemblance
p. 255 to the western end of our church, where the organ was hung with
curtains,2 and pilasters, pedirnents and other classical ornaments
formed part of the design. This may, therefore, possibly have been
one of the drawings for the arrangement of that portion of the
church. From 1674-1684, Wren was engaged, according to Mr.
Blomfield, in rebuilding the greater part of the Temple. His work
is described as quite plain, only enriched with quoins and wellproportioned
cornices and a few charming door-ways.' Mr. Blomfield
gives me, as examples, the pediment and Ionic order in Portland
stone and gauged brick in the Middle Temple gateway. Wren's
influence, he thinks, and probably also his design, are traceable in
New Court and the adjoining courts, also in the houses with gauged
brick doorways, notably one with engaged Corinthian columns in
brick, in King's Bench Walk. These are regarded as excellent
early examples of the use of soft bricks rubbed and fine-jointed in
putty, a material which Wren used more freely and successfully
than any English architect before or since. He was frequently

to be seen in the Temple advising as to the church, and among
the accounts for the year 1682-3, are payments for various dinners
at the " Devil Tavern " to Sir Christopher Wren when he had
been giving orders to the workmen, superintending the plastering,
colouring, and whitening the Inner Temple side of the church,
settling the estimates for the carved panels on the benchers' pews
and otherwise employed on the work. Nor was he in other respects
unconnected with the Temple, for Sir William Wren was a member
of the Middle Temple, and was buried in the Temple church, on the
1st January, 1689-90.
During the period comprised in this volume, the services of the
church were performed by three clergymen—the master, who enjoyed
the house and to whom we paid, as our share, a stipend of ,4.ioo per
annum, a reader to whom we paid ,65o per ann., and an assistant
curate or reader of prayers to whom we paid £30 per ann. To
these should be added the names of Dr. Ken, Dr. Crisp and Dr.
South, who preached at Christmas by request of the students and
junior members of the society and at their expense. The masters
were Dr. Ball, Dr. William Sherlock and Dr. Thomas Sherlock.
Dr. Ball, Prebendary of Lincoln and of Ely, and Rector of
Bluntisham, to whom reference has already been made, was
appointed to the mastership of the Temple on the promotion of
Dr. Gauden to the bishopric of Exeter in 166o. Dr. Ball's
conduct in respect of the building of the master's house recommended
him to the kindly consideration of the Temples, and on
many other occasions he showed the personal interest which he took
in the society. An incident in reference to this gentleman has not
been elucidated. There are charges in 1671-2 for providing witnesses
and otherwise in regard to " Dr. Ball's trial," from which it
appears that the Inner Temple was supporting Dr. Ball in his trial,
whatever the question may have been. He died in April, 1684, at
the age of 86, and was buried in the new vestry on the south side
of the church. In that church already lay the bones of his two
wives, who died successively in March, 1667-8, and in August, 1681,
and of four sons, Burnell, John, Thomas, and William, who died
respectively in 1670, in 1679, in 1681, and in 1682.

divine, with a great reputation as a preacher. He had held the
living of S. George, Botolph Lane, and was a prebendary of S.
Paul's before being appointed master of the Temple. He held strong
views as to the divine right of kings and the duty of passive obedience,
and he refused for some months to take the oath of allegiance
to William and Mary. This resulted in his being temporarily deprived,
in August, 1689, of all his offices and emoluments, including
those of the mastership of the Temple. During this period—which
was, however, in effect only one of suspension—he published the most
celebrated of his works, " A Practical Discourse on Death," being the
substance of sermons preached in the Temple church. In the dedication
of this book to the benchers of the two societies he alludes to
his deprivation in these terms
" One Reason of Publishing this Plain Discourse is, because I can't now
Preach to you as formerly I have done, and have no other way left of discharging
my Duty to You, but by making the Press supply the Pulpitt. Part
of this you have already heard, and should have heard the rest, had I enjoyed
the same Liberty still : which God restore me again when He sees fit : if not
his Will be done. And the only Reason of this Dedication is, to make this
publick and thankful Acknowledgment (before I am forced from You, if I
must be so Unhappy) of Your Great Respects, and many singular Favours
to me : which have always been so free and generous, that they never gave
Time nor left any Room for me to ask : especially that obliging Welcome you
gave me at my first coming, I mean Your Present of a House, which besides
the Conveniences and Pleasures of a Delightful Habitation, has afforded me
that which I value much more, the frequent Opportunities of Your Conversation."
The society, recognizing his great popularity, had presented him
P. 256 on the 8th Nov., 1688, with a cask of canary and a hogshead of
claret, which were afterwards, on the loth Nov., changed for a pair
of silver candlesticks, bearing the arms of the Inner Temple. The
master having, on the loth February, 1689-90, consented to pray for
the king and queen, and in August, 1690, to take the oaths of
allegiance to them as monarchs de facto, he was permitted to retain
P. 273 his preferments, and continued to reside and preach in the Temple.2

his death.
= The popular excitement attendant upon Sherlock's conversion from the attitude
of a non-juror to that of a supporter of the existing government, with his subsequent
acceptance of the deanery of S. Paul's, is described at length by Lord Macaulay

INTRODUCTION. ii
In 1690 he was paid ,‘50 by the society for the expenses of the P. 273
preachers engaged by him during his suspension. In 1691 he was
appointed dean of S. Paul's. In January, 1694-5, he preached in the
Temple Church a eulogistic sermon on the late queen, Mary,
who had died on the 28th December, 1694. He resigned his
mastership in 1704, and died in 1707. He was succeeded by his
son, Dr. Thomas Sherlock,' an equally distinguished and eloquent
preacher, who was successively master of S. Catherine's Hall, Cambridge,
chaplain to queen Anne, dean of Norwich, prebendary and
dean of Chichester, bishop of Bangor and bishop of Salisbury.
Having declined the archbishopric of York, he was, in 1748, made
bishop of London. In November, 1753, being still bishop of London,
he travelled to the Temple from his palace at Fulham to announce his
resignation of the mastership, which he had held in conjunction with
his other preferments for a period of fifty years. He spoke of his
relation to the two societies as being the great happiness of his life,
" as it introduced me to the acquaintance of some of the greatest men
of the age, and afforded me the opportunities of improvement by living
and conversing with gentlemen of a liberal education, and of great
learning and experience." H e was extremely popular with the members
of the Temple, and dying in July, 1771, was buried at Fulham. In 1725
he published, at the request of the two societies, a series of " Discourses
on the Use and Intent of Prophecy," comprising sermons
preached in the Temple church in April and May, 1724. It went
through several editions, and was much attacked by religious and
political opponents.
Our society, which did not escape from some association with
the gunpowder plot, was not altogether exempted from the evil effects
of the popish plot of 1678. Richard Langhorne, a roman catholic
gentleman, was one of the earliest victims of Oates and Bedloe. He
was a barrister of this inn, having chambers in Inner Temple Lane,'
where he practised chiefly as a conveyancer. After the great fire of
1666 the house of commons appointed a committee, of which Sir
Robert Brook, M.P., was chairman, " to inquire into the causes of

the late fire." Numerous informations were filed and amongst them
the following :
" Mr. Light of Ratcliff, having some discourse with Mr. Langhorne of the
Middle (?) Temple, Barrister (reputed a zealous Papist) about February —65
last, after some discourse in disputation about Religion, he took him by the
hand, and said to him, you expect great things in Sixty-Six, and think that Rome
will be destroyed, but what if it be London."'
This being reported to the house on the 22nd January, 1666-67,
Langhorne was called before the parliamentary committee, and
examined as to whether the disaster had not, to his knowledge, been
caused by the treachery of the popish faction. He was thus a person
who had been already suspected, and a fit subject for Oates and his
witnesses. These denounced him as a party to the plot. He was
arrested in his chambers on the 7th of October, 1678, by a warrant
from the privy council, and was kept in close confinement in Newgate
until his trial. It was alleged that Langhorne had, in his
chambers, openly discussed with Oates the killing of the king and
other treasons, and had shown to him commissions granted by the
pope to various persons, amongst them being one to himself as
judge advocate of the army. It was also alleged by the witnesses
that Langhorne was party to an offer of ‘Io,000 being made to
Sir George Wakeman to poison the king,' an offer which, it was
said, Sir George refused as the amount was too small by £5,000.
Upon this evidence Langhorne was condemned and executed,
denying to the last the truth of Oates and Bedloe's story. As it
was alleged that these commissions, along with a number of compromising
letters, which it was sworn he had copied into a register,
were in his chambers, these were immediately seized and held by
p. 127 the inn, and officers were put to watch them. His books, papers
P. 128 and writings were carefully searched, and it is fair to assume that
nothing criminatory was found, as no original paper was produced
P. '44 at his trial. When the fire broke out in January, 1678-9, all

these papers were removed and replaced when the danger was past
but the watching of the chambers was continued till after his death.
He was tried on the i4th June, 1679,1 and executed on the follow- IL 145
ing i4th July. There is little reason to doubt that he was entirely
innocent of the charge. The trial of Sir George Wakeman, who was
indicted with Langhorne, was by reason of illness postponed until the
i8th July, 1679, four days after Langhorne's execution. Wakeman
was then acquitted by the jury.2 Chief Justices Scroggs and North,
who both assisted at the trial of Langhorne, had by this time formed
a distrust of Oates and his witnesses, and agreed with the jury in not
believing their evidence. The benchers out of kindness to Mrs.
Langhorne, his widow, permitted her to sell her late husband's
chambers for £50, and subsequently gave her ,4. 25 out of the funds p. 183
of the house. In February, 1684-5, some of his clients' deeds and p. 230
papers had been handed over to them, and in November, 1687, the
remainder were delivered to his son. p• 250

he would not have been called, I entertain no doubt. The inns still
held to their procedure, requiring candidates for the bar to take the
sacrament, as appears from an entry in the preceding i6th November.
p. 241 On that day Alexander Fraser petitioned the bench that he might
be called under special circumstances, without having kept the
number of terms required by the regulations. He had been a member
of the inn for many years, but had been much employed in foreign
service, and was then about to attend the Duke of Albemarle in
Jamaica. An order was thereupon made " that he be called to the
bar provided he receive the sacrament in the Temple Church." At the
p. 240 parliament held on the 28th November, 1686, Alexander Fraser was
p. 201 duly called. In May, 1689, an order was made that those who had
been called to the bar within two years and had not taken the oaths of
allegiance and supremacy, and received the sacrament according to
p. 266 the order of the house, should attend the bench table. In pursuance
p. 268 of this order, Martin Hildesley with Nathaniel Piggott and Richard
Delamer, were ordered to attend the table in November, 1689.
Piggott having then and there refused to take the oaths tendered
to him, his call was vacated and he was suspended from commons.
p. 278 In November, 1690, his suspension was taken off, and as we hear no
more of Martin Hildesley, I assume that he either took the oaths and
received the sacrament or was held not to have been within the
rule, inasmuch as he had not been called within two years of May,
1689.
The entries relating to Jeffryes, who ended his career with the
flight of his royal master, are not very numerous, but such as they
are, they show the interest which he took in the society. He was
born in the year of king Charles's execution, the son of a Welsh
gentleman of old family. His father and his elder brother were
successively high sheriffs of the county of Denbigh, and his younger
brother was a prebendary of Canterbury. He was educated at
Shrewsbury and afterwards at S. Paul's school, whence he went to
Westminster under Dr. Busby, from whom it has been suggested
that he learned the efficacy of flogging as a punishment for evil doers.
From Westminster he was sent to Trinity College, Cambridge, at the
age of 14, and in the following year, 1663, he was admitted at
P. 55 the Inner Temple. While a student he was deputed, by the mock
parliament held by the gentlemen at Christmas, 1667, to invite Dr.

called to the bar. In March, 1668-9, he was selected, as we have
already seen, by Mr. Goodfellow, the reader, to accompany Mr.
Wroth, as a deputation to the lord mayor and court of aldermen
as to the proposed bearing up of his lordship's sword in the Inner
Temple. He was afterwards called before the council board to
answer for the part he took in those proceedings. In 1671, at
the age of 23, he was elected common serjeant, and in 1678,
at the age of 30, recorder of London. In November, 1674, p. 102
he was discharged of his duty as reader in Clement's Inn. In
January, 1677-8, he was elected to the bench of this society, and in p. 120
February, 1678-9, his eldest son, John, then aged 8 years, was
specially admitted. In 168o he was created serjeant-at-law and left p. 131
the inn. In May, 168o, his son was admitted to his father's chambers, p. 153
and later in 168o, being then king's serjeant, he gave £40 towards the p. 169
cost of wainscotting the hall and the library. In 1683, at the age of p. 169
35, he was chief justice of the King's Bench, and in 1685, at the
age of 37, he was lord chancellor. He took an active part in dealing
with the fire of 1679, and was called in, as chancellor, in 1686 to settle
the dispute as to the organ between the two societies. In January,
1685-6, having completed the business of the assize, a committee p. 234
of this inn waited upon him to know if he would please to have
a play when he dined with the benchers on grand day. This he
accepted, and heard " The Committee." A similar invitation went p. 238
to him in October, 1686, and he dined again and saw " The Scornful
Lady " on the 1st November. He received a like invitation for P. 239
All Souls, 1687, and saw the play of " The Cheats of Scapin," a
rendering of Moliere's celebrated play. The year 1685 was distin- P. 255
guished by Monmouth's rebellion and the " bloody assize," and
in 1687, with a knowledge of all his judicial errors, but, as I
suppose, with a feeling of kindness towards their old companion,
the benchers commissioned Sir Godfrey Kneller to paint the portrait
of Lord Jeffryes at a cost of ‘50. It was paid for in 1687 and p. 245
set up in the hall." The compliment thus paid to Jeffryes was
unique. As far as I have been able to ascertain it was the first
occasion upon which the fellows of this inn commissioned any

artist to paint the portrait of any of their number and paid for the
portrait from the funds of the society. A biographical sketch of
Jeffryes would be beyond the scope of this preface, nor is it necessary,
for the subject has been treated by writers well qualified to
undertake the task, the last of whom, a barrister of our inn, has given
much care and attention to the study.' The judgment of many
generations has condemned Jeffryes as a violent, overbearing, and
unjust judge, without considering whether upon fuller examination
of his story there may not be some reason to doubt the absolute
propriety of so merciless and wholesale a condemnation. There
exist, at the present time, four contemporaneous portraits of Jeffryes
by Sir Godfrey Kneller. One when, at the age of 30, he was
recorder of London ; one when, at the age of 36, he was lord chief
justice ; one in the possession of Lord Tankerville, when he was
lord chancellor, at the age of 38 ; and one painted for this society
as already mentioned. They all agree in presenting him as a man of
dignified mien and of fine features. And though they do not portray
a person of amiability, they are consistently wanting in those indications
of drink, debauchery, and savagery with which his personal
appearance is usually associated. He died in the Tower in 1688,
and was buried in the church of All-Hallows Barking. After the
revolution Jeffryes' picture was removed from the hall to the chambers
of Mr. Holloway, a bencher of the inn, where it appears still to have
been in 1693. At that time his son, who was a member of the inn,
having asked that the picture might be given to him, an order was
P. 306 made on the 9th February, 1693-4, that " the treasurer do declare
to Lord Jeffryes that at his lordship's desire, the house do make a
present to his lordship of his father's picture, now in Mr. Holloway's
chamber." This picture is now in the possession of Mr. Philip
Yorke, of Errig Park, Wrexham, in the county of Denbigh.2 Beside
it, is a portrait of Sir Thomas Jeffryes, Knight, of Alcantara in Spain,
a brother of the chancellor.
Another familiar name appears constantly in this volume.

inn, lived within it, and took part in our affairs. He was a younger
brother of the poet, and after taking his degree at Christ's College,
Cambridge, he entered the Inner Temple. In January, 1639-40, he v. 0.. ..., p.254
was called to the bar. He was a staunch royalist, unwavering in his
fidelity to the throne. As a lawyer he had little, if any success, and
except for the reflected light cast upon him by his distinguished
brother, he would probably have passed through life without notice.
At the restoration he was, in November, 1660, included in a batch of p.
royalists elected to the bench, and was chosen reader for the summer
vacation of 1665. He never appears to have been treasurer, but he p. 36
continued to be a frequent attendant at the bench until the year
1686, when he was, at the age of 71, created a baron of the exchequer
by James I I. In November, 1679, he appears to have pp. i5r, 152
been in some financial difficulties, as he was summoned before his
brother benchers and ordered to pay up his arrears, with a threat that
if that were not done by saturday they would " proceed to padlock
his chambers : and that none of his charges be allowed for repairing
his chambers unless he shew better cause." These payments had
not been made in February, 1679-80, when a peremptory order
was made against him and the money, I suppose, was produced. p. 152
His son was also ordered to pay ‘4 for caution money. In 1687
he was promoted to be a justice of the common pleas, and in
1688 he retired on a pension. He continued after his judgeship to
retain his chambers in the inn, and these were refitted for his use.
Entries appear in 1686 for locks and ironwork for Baron Milton's fo. 266

On the II th of December, 1688, the king left London on his
way to France. On saturday the r5th he was at Rochester, after his

returned to London, and the society of the Inner Temple were among
the very few of his subjects who did him any honour. They lighted
" a bonfire on the king's return from Rochester." On the morning of p. 264
the 18th he left Whitehall for Rochester, and then quitted his kingdom
and his country for ever.

I have drawn attention in previous volumes to the literary and
artistic tastes of the society as exemplified by the various entertainments,
provided by the inn, for the amusement of their members and
their guests. We have seen that the gross feeding and the inane
burlesque of the grand christmas gradually gave way to the masque.
The masque from being at first merely spectacular, in course of time
assumed the proportion of profusely decorated scenery, accompanied
by song and dance, and then of allegories, in the composition of
which Beaumont, Ben Jonson, Daniel, Myddleton, Brown, and other
poets of the day did not scruple to participate. Under the two early
Stuart kings dramatic works were introduced to the partial exclusion
of the masque, and we now arrive at a period, after the restoration,
when the masque disappeared and its place was occupied by stage
plays, one at All Hallows (the 1st November), and one at Candlemass
(the 2nd February). And these plays, excepting at the times of
the plague and of the several fires, were regularly given. The revels
of the old type with mock chancellors, and other high officials and
sham ceremonies of a court ceased, so far as there is any record of
them in our inn, before the commonwealth. The master of the revels
was, however, appointed yearly, with a salary of £2, and there was
a regular payment for music, even through the time of the puritan
ascendency. The marshals for christmas were also appointed, but
their offices were sinecure. The grand days were still continued
and, as before, invitations to judges and other distinguished personages
were still given at the reader's feast. But the amusements
were of a different type, and the duties of the master of the revels
were of a less onerous character. The old style of entertainment
seems, however, to have been continued at the other inns. In
January, 1662, Evelyn was present at Lincoln's Inn at " a solemn
foolery " of the Prince de la Grange with his mock princes, grandees,
and nobles" and in January, 1667-8, he saw the revels at the Middle
Temple, which he describes as " an old riotous custom, and has relation
neither to virtue nor policy." 2 We were not, however, free
from reproach, for our records show that gambling was openly and
extensively carried on in the upper library at christmastide. And
although it was ordered that there should be only one table for

INTRODUCTION. lix
hazard, yet strangers played as well as members, and the games were
probably sufficiently high and riotous to have justified, in our case P. 55
also, the unfavourable criticism of Mr. Evelyn.
The plays which after the restoration were received with public
applause, soon assumed a very different character from those of the
previous reigns. Shakespeare had died on the 23rd April, 1616,
Beaumont in the previous March, Fletcher in August, 1625, and
Ben Jonson in August, 1637. During the civil wars, and under the
commonwealth, the times were not propitious for the study or the
encouragement of the drama. But a school of dramatic art and
poetry arose after the accession of the new king, which went far to
justify the antipathy which many people, untouched with puritanism
or precision, entertained towards the stage. It becomes, under the
circumstances, interesting to consider what was the view, taken by a
society of learned and educated gentlemen, of the plays that were
then produced, an opinion which can most effectually be tested by a
consideration of the works which they introduced into their hall.
It will be observed that the names of the plays are given in our
books with great irregularity. It seems to have depended altogether
upon chance, or upon the fancy of the clerk, whether the name of the
play was entered or not. The payments, however, in all cases, are
strictly chronicled. It is, therefore, not unreasonable to regard the
performances, so given, as fairly representative of the class of drama
which found favour with the benchers and barristers of the society.
The plays, thus chronicled, between the accession of Charles II. in
166o and the flight of James II. in 1688, are twenty in number, most
of them comparatively unknown to playgoers of the present generation.
Attention is at once struck by the fact that, during the whole
of this period of twenty-eight years, not one play of Shakespeare
is recorded as having been produced. Dryden, writing in 1665,
says that two plays of Beaumont and Fletcher are produced throughout
the year to one of Shakespeare or Ben Jonson, and he gives a
reason for this which is not altogether accepted by Hallam.' I think,
however, that the explanation is not far to seek. Shakespeare being
comparatively without liberal education, and not having had the
advantage of mixing from his youth with gentlemen and gentlemen's
sons, had not acquired the art of writing to the taste of that class
Hallam, " Lit. Hist.," vol. iii., p. 4, note e, Dryden.

from whom the inns of court were recruited, and without whose
presence a theatre could not be kept open. Shakespeare smacked of
the ruff and the farthingale long after these eccentricities of costume
had disappeared, while Beaumont and Fletcher, though his contemporaries,
wrote as men who had mixed habitually from their boyhood
with persons of polite education and of good society, where manners
were easier and more natural, and conversation was more ready and
sparkling. A combination of tragedy or comedy with alternate
scenes of farce, in the nature of a subsidiary plot, commended itself
to audiences of the seventeenth century, and will be found in nearly
all these plays. It soon, however, died out, except perhaps in some
of the minor theatres, in which it has been received with admiration
even during the present century. Most of these plays, and certainly
those of Beaumont and Fletcher, are either of foreign (generally of
Spanish) extraction, or deal with persons and incidents alien to
English tastes and habits. This gave the writers greater freedom
in the construction of their plots. Scenes which would be condemned
as absurd, if applied to English people, would not meet with
the same condemnation when applied to foreign countries, as to
whose modes of thought and of life the English of the seventeenth
century were both ignorant and credulous. During the eighteenth
century, the fate that had overtaken Shakespeare fell upon Beaumont
and Fletcher. The qualities, which kept their plays upon the stage
to the end of the seventeenth century, failed to attract when the
manners of polite society changed. Their comedies no longer filled
the playhouses when they ceased to reflect the sentiments and habits
of the class who supported the drama. And the same rule applied
to Wycherley, Congreve, Shadwell and others of that class. When
plays which dealt alone with variations of the cardinal vices, which
represented a state of society not recognized as belonging to any
country or any age, and which depended for their success upon witty
dialogue and cynical allusions, failed to please the audience, the works
of these various dramatists of the restoration disappeared from
the stage, and few, if any, were ever resuscitated. To enable the
templars of the twentieth century to form an opinion of the tastes of
their predecessors, I give some account of these plays. They are

tainment provided for our members and our guests, and formed an
integral portion of the life of our inn. They were, as will be seen,
mostly performed by the players of the king's house. Those of the
duke's house were only occasionally engaged. Women appeared upon
the English boards for the first time after the restoration, a change
which was not to the taste of many cultivated persons. The actors
invariably received £20 a play, and the usual payments were made
for the music. They were also, though this was probably confined
to the ladies who then trod the boards, occasionally sent for in
coaches ; coach hire being an item on these occasions. An entry in
January, 1681-2, " ffor sweetmeats for Madam Gwin Zoi : oo 00,"
with music, and dice, attests the popularity of the celebrated artist.
The following plays are recorded from 166o to 1688.

2nd Nov., 1663. " THE BROTHERS." A comedy in five acts, by p. 16
James Shirley.' (By the King's players.)
This play was licensed in 1626, but was not published until
1652, the original title being " The Brothers, a Comedie, as it was
acted at the private House in Black Fryers." The scene is laid in
Spain, and both prologue and epilogue refer to the old Spanish plot,
and the defeat of the armada which was still (in 1626) sure to elicit
the cheers of the audience. Some passages of the play are considered
as being of great literary merit. James Shirley wrote in the
time of Charles I., who is said to have considered the " Gamesters "
one of the best plays he had seen for some years. A not very
favourable criticism of Shirley's works is given by Hallam,' who I
think hardly does justice to Shirley's poetic instinct.
Candlemass, 1663-4.—" EPICENE, OR THE SILENT WOMAN." A
comedy in five acts, by Ben Jonson. (By His Majesty's players.)
This was a favourite comedy, not only at the time of its production p. 25
in or about 1609, but also at its revival among the plays of the restoration
period. Morose, a rich uncle, has a nephew whom he treats
scurvily and leaves in penury. The scheme of the play is an
attempt, by this young man and his friends, to drive Morose to make
some provision for his nephew. Morose' s character is implied by
his name, and he has in addition a dread of noise and bustle. Under

lxii INTRODUCTION.
these circumstances they bring about a marriage between him and a
boy passing as Epicene, a very silent, reserved and undemonstrative
woman. Directly after the marriage the supposed bride breaks out
into voluble and violent language, introduces noisy and disreputable
women of her acquaintance, called the " Collegiate Ladies," opposes
her husband and orders the household about with the airs of a major
domo. The uncle is thus driven to despair, and promises to make
a liberal settlement on the nephew if he can get a divorce. This
device occupies the fifth act, during which all the company are on
the stage. A sea captain, Tom 0/ter, and a barber, Cu/beard,assume
the parts of a divine and of a learned civilian, and discuss with great
humour, but a certain want of delicacy, the various grounds upon
which a nullity can be granted. In the result the silent bride discloses
herself as a boy, and the two learned disputants agree that it
is a case in which a nullity must be decreed, as there was an error
persona'. Ben Jonson showed much courage in the devising and
producing of this plot, as it was nearly contemporaneous with
the celebrated case of the Countess of Essex, afterwards Countess
of Somerset. In the details of this case James I. took great
personal interest ; and to judge from contemporary writers it was
the subject of discussion, not only among the lords and ladies of the
court but generally throughout the country. Tom Oiler is described
as a valiant captain in the navy who, in his own house, is ruled by a
termagant wife whom he describes as his princess. This character
n the revival pleased Charles II., who called his naval brother
(the Duke of York) Tom Oiler' out of pleasant allusion to his
domestic difficulties. Hallam describes it as written with a great deal
of spirit, and thinks it has a value as a representation of London
life in the higher ranks of society at that period. " It is a proof," he
says, " of Jonson's extensive learning that the story of the play and
several particular passages have been detected in a writer so much
out of the beaten track as Libanius." 2 Dryden wrote a prologue and
an epilogue for the revival. The former was spoken by Hart and
the latter by Mrs. Marshall. Burbage had formerly played in it. At
this time Betterton was cast for the part of Morose.4

All Saints' Day, 1664.—" THE NIGHT WALKER, OR THE LITTLE P. 2 5
THIEF," a comedy in five acts by Beaumont and Fletcher.' (By His
Majesty's players.)
A very bright, witty, and amusing comedy. Maria, a young
heiress, is compelled by her mother to marry Justice Allg-ripe, a
wealthy miser. Two young cavaliers conspire, by paying Maria
great attention, to make the justice jealous of her on his wedding
day. She swoons, and being supposed to be dead, is put into a
coffin. Her mother prudently packs away the plate and the wedding
presents in a large chest, and to prevent the justice getting them,
puts the chest in the same room with the coffin. Lurcher, a philosophic
cavalier, who has turned housebreaker on principle, aided by
the little thief, a young woman masquerading in boy's clothes,
frightens away the occupants of the house by imitations of the devil
searching for the murderers of Maria. Having thus got rid of the
household, they steal what, in the dark, they believe to be the box
of plate, but which turns out to be the coffin. This being opened
at Lurcher's house, his mistress insists that it is only a trick to bring
another woman into the house, and refuses to be pacified until she
sees her supposed rival safely buried. The party accordingly adjourn
to the graveyard, where the fresh air revives Maria, who sits
up in her coffin and scares away her captors. Maria then goes
towards her home, and on the way meets the justice, who believing
her to be a ghost, returns to his house and bars up his doors
and windows in order to keep out, at the same time, any walking
spirits and any demands for the return of Maria' s dowry. Subsequently
Lurcher and the little thief get into the house and persecute
the justice, the former as a fury sent to destroy him, and the
latter as an angel coming to preserve him. This scene and the
following, in which they lead him to the churchyard under the pretence
that he is dead and must be properly buried, though naturally
partaking of exaggeration, are bright and terse and full of witty
allusions, and in good hands would have played admirably. The
comedy concludes with the union of Maria and her lover, a sentimental
gentleman of a melancholy type, through the confession of
the justice, that before his marriage with Maria he had been contracted
to the little thief, whom he had deserted in view of obtaining

the former's fortune. He acknowledges his pre-contract, in the presence
of witnesses, and agrees to have it confirmed by holy church.
The under plot mainly concerns itself with the domestics, but the adventures
of Maria as the pretty night walker, who appears alternately
as a ghost and as a Welsh maid, added to the tricks of the little
thief, furnish ample materials for a comedy of which Pepys speaks as
" a very merry and pretty play."
p. 38 Candlemass Day, 1664-5.—" THE CHANGES,OR LOVE IN A MAZE"
(Loueina Maze), a comedy in five acts, by James Shirley.' (By the
King's actors.)
Pepys describes it as a dull, silly play, which has little in it but
Lacy's part of a countryman, which he did to admiration.3 A very
successful play of this name by Dion Boucicault, which held the
London stage for many years, and in which Alfred Wigan played the
leading part, has no relation to this comedy either in plot or sentiment.
OR LOVE
IN A TUB," a comedy in five acts by Sir George Etheridge. (By the
players of the Duke's house.)
This, which Pepys describes as a " silly play," " merry by gesture
but not by wit,' seems to deserve the condemnation. Dufaur, a
French valet, making love to a pert chambermaid, is made drunk,
and while asleep is put into a tub, of which the bottom is knocked
out, and he is left with his head through the top and his hands
through the sides to roam about the stage. This incident has nothing
to do with the real action of the play, and is introduced to give a low
comedy touch to an otherwise serious and sentimental drama comprising
love scenes and a duel. It is written mostly in verse, and
the best part is that of a vivacious widow. Notwithstanding, however,
the poorness of the play, Betterton and his wife played the
principal parts, and the company cleared ,‘I,000 by the performance
in the course of a month.5

INTRODUCTION. lxv
This celebrated play has the disadvantage of being not only in
blank verse, but of having many important passages in rhyme, a
method which prejudicially affects the natural flow of the language.
This is particularly noticeable in the otherwise beautiful scenes
between the queen and Philodes her lover. The plot is said to have
been taken in part from some older writers, and in part to have been
suggested by the king, who greatly admired it, and called it his
play. It is very similar in construction to Scribe's well-known " Le
Verre d'Eau," where queen Anne and Captain Masham occupy
the respective positions of the Sicilian queen and Philocles, and the
same scheme is adopted for the conclusion. Although the king
claimed to have had a hand in the construction of the piece, he is
understood to have objected to the mixture of broad comedy and
serious drama as being inartistic. He also thought it liable to exception
as treating the bond of marriage too lightly, in the love
scenes between Florimel and Celadon, in the presence of the maiden
queen. This, Dryden in his preface, submitting his judgment to
that of the king, admits to have been a fault. In the conclusion he
speaks of the " chief parts, both serious and comic, having been performed
to the height of excellence." The great attraction of the
piece, however, was the acting of Nell Gwyn in the part of Florimel,
a maid of honour. She was then about nineteen years of age, and
lived in Maypole Alley, leading from Newcastle Street to Drury
Lane. A description of her standing at the door and watching the
milkmaids on the 1st of May, 1667, dancing round the maypole,
recently re-erected at the bottom of Newcastle Street, is to be found
in Pepys's1 diary. In the last act Florimel, wishing to thwart her
lover Celadon in his attempted amours with two sisters Orinda and
Sabina, disguises herself as a young nobleman and makes love to
the two young ladies. Being challenged to fight with Celadon, she
refuses and, instead of duelling, dances a jig. The " Maiden Queen"
was brought out at the king's theatre on the 2nd February, 1666 -
The dialogue between Florimel and Celadon has been described as
at the Theater Royal, written by John Dryden, Esq'., London . . . 1669 " A preface
by Dryden dedicates the play to the king. When the play was printed the cast of the
chief parts was as follows : Queen of Sicily, Mrs. Marshall ; Arteria, her confidant, Mrs.
Knep ; Florimel, a maid of honour, Mrs. Ellen Guyn ; Lysimartes, prince of the blood,
Mr. Burt ; Plzilocles,Major Mohun ; Celadon, Mr. Hart.

" a prize fight of wits."' The play had a long run, and is criticized
as follows by Pepys :2
" 2nd March, 1666-7. After dinner with my wife to the king's house to
see the ' Mayden Queene,' a new play of Dryden's, mightily commended for
the regularity of it and the strain and wit : and the truth is there is a comical
part done by Nell, which is Florimell, that I never can hope ever to see the
like done again, by man or woman. The king and the Duke of York were
at the play. But so great performance of a comical part was never, I believe,
in the world before as Nell do this, both as a mad girle, then most and best
of all when she comes in like a young gallant ; and hath the motions and
carriage of a spark the most that ever I saw any man have."
P. 73 1668-9. " THE LITTLE FFRENCH LAWYER," a comedy, in five
acts, by Beaumont and Fletcher.' (By the K ing's players.)
The leading part of this piece is La Wrill , the little lawyer,
who is forced against his will to put down his blue bag and take part
as second in a duel. Thenceforth he neglects his affairs and becomes
a fire-eater, challenging the judges who decide against his clients.
It is a well-drawn and comical character, and the final catastrophe
where he engages in a duel with an opposing lawyer and their
seconds decamp with their masters' clothes, leaving them stripped to
the waist in the snow, too cold to use their weapons, is humorously
dealt with. The scene is laid in Paris. This led Hallam to conjecture
that " The Little French Lawyer" had its origin in some French
novel or drama. On reflection, however, he was of opinion that it
was derived from a Spanish source, whence Beaumont and Fletcher
drew the plots of many of their plays.4
P. 73 Allhallows, 1670.—" SIR MARTIN MAR-ALL," a comedy, in five
acts, by John Dryden. (By the Duke's players.)
This play was produced in 1667 and published in 1669. It is
an adaptation of " L'Etourdi," by Moliere, and was a very successful
work. It is an amusing production, but the comedy of the French
writer is reduced to low comedy, bordering on farce, by the English
adapter. The character of Lélie in Moliere's play is that of a blundering,
inconsequential gentleman who, notwithstanding his unlucky
blunders, gains the woman on whom he has set his affections. Sir

INTRODUCTION. lxvii
Marlin Mar-all, on the other hand, is little better than a selfsufficient
idiot, who ultimately marries the waiting maid, while
Millicent', the lady, marries the valet. This result has been much
and, I think, rightly censured. The French public would have been
shocked at a man of family being married to a servant, and more
than shocked at the spectacle of a young lady of wealth and good
family disguising herself in order to marry a valet, who had never
exhibited any inclination for her. The English public of the day
would, I suppose, have been less scandalized at this result than at
the melancholy spectacle of such a woman being thrown away upon
a fool. Pepys, reflecting the tastes of the period, describes it as
" mighty witty1 and fullest of proper matter for mirth that ever was
writ."
Candlemass, 1670-I, and again on 2nd February, 1685-6,—
" THE COMMITTEE," a comedy, in five acts, by Sir Robert Howard,
K.B. (By the King's players.)
This play, which seems to have been a favourite with audiences
of the restoration period, was published in 1665. The author, Sir
Robert Howard, was a younger son of the Earl of Berkshire. His
sister, Lady Elizabeth Howard, was married to John Dryden, who
assisted Sir Robert in some of his literary efforts, and no doubt
helped him to the position he attained as an author and dramatist.
Evelyn2 speaks of " The Committee " as a " ridiculous play," but
agrees with Pepys that Lacey's Irish footman was " played to admiration."
Pepys, who saw it in 1663, when Cromwell's daughter,
then Lady Fauconbridge, was present in a box, thought it an indifferent
play.3 In August, 1667, when Mrs. Knepp was one of the
players, he liked it better.' The rest of the cast is not mentioned.
The scene is laid in London during the commonwealth, and deals
with the iniquities of the committee for compounding or dealing with
the sequestered estates of the royal party. Being produced after
the restoration, it naturally favours the cavaliers. Mr. Day, chairman
of the committee, and Mrs. Day, his wife, a scheming, vulgar,
talkative woman, who has been raised from a position of domestic
service to be the wife of the committee man, when she is addressed
as " her ladyship," are not very interesting parts. Ruth, the daughter

INTRODUCTION.
of a deceased cavalier, whose estates are being administered by Mr.
D ay , and whom they describe as their daughter, is a very bright and
amusing part, which was played, I imagine, by Mrs. Knepp. The
great attraction of the play, however, was an Irish servant named
Teague. It appears to have been the first dramatic conception of
an Irishman of the rollicking, faithful, and blundering type, made
familiar to us now by a continued series of excellent actors. It is
said that the original of the part was an Irishman in the service of
the Howards, whose faithful blunders and eccentricities are worked
out by Dryden. The play had considerable popularity, as appears
from contemporary writers, and this is to some extent supported by
the fact that it appears to have been acted at least thrice in the hall
of the Inner Temple.' The plot, however, is wanting in originality,
and there are no really fine passages in the text. Plays dealing with
the affairs of the commonwealth are but few. They were probably,
for many reasons, not very attractive. " The Roundheads, or the
Good Old Cause," by Mrs. Aphra Behn,2 dealt in scandalous fashion
with Cromwell's widow and his daughters, and was even thus by no
means successful.

P. 89 1St N ovember, 1671.—" PHILASTER, OR LOVE LYES A BLEEDING,"
a comedy, in five acts, by Beaumont and Fletcher.' (By the King's
players.)
Phi/aster, heir to the throne of Sicily, and a popular favourite,
is in love with Areihusa, daughter of the reigning king, who has
promised her hand, and the succession to the throne, to the prince of
Spain. The prince is drawn with all those frailties with which
popular opinion in the seventeenth century debited a Spanish
grandee. Philaster has in his service a page called Bellario, who is,
however, the daughter of a Sicilian noble. This young lady, rightly
named Euphrasia, is, in performance of a vow, making a pilgrimage

INTRODUCTION. lxix
in man's attire, and by the same vow is forbidden to disclose her sex
till the end of her pilgrimage. To facilitate his love-making with
Arethusa, Phi/aster sends her Be//aria as an attendant, with the
result that the confidence and affection naturally arising between the
two women, give rise to doubts of Arethusd s chastity, and in
these doubts Phi/aster, among others, is led to concur. The troubles
and complications, arising from this equivocal position, fill the five
acts of the play and provide powerful situations for both Phi/aster
and Bellarth. Ultimately Bellario meets her father, thus ending her
pilgrimage. She declares herself. The Spanish pretender is driven
off by the Sicilians. Philaster is recognized as rightful heir to the
throne, is married to Arethusa, and the play ends in a short epilogue.
The parts of Phi/aster and Bellario are well and powerfully drawn.
The language is in the best tone of the dramatists, and the interest
in the play is well sustained throughout. Phi/aster, a part which
had originally been played by Burbage,' was filled at this time by
Betterton, and Bellario was impersonated by Nell Gwyn. In this
part she made a great success, although it is a serious and almost
tragic role. From first to last there is no touch of comedy, much
less of that species of farce in which from all accounts Nell was inimitable.
Many of her speeches are long and would tax the powers of
a thoughtful and experienced comedian. There is no love scene in
which she is engaged, and no opportunity for a dance or a song.
But her small and lissome figure, with a slight tendency to plumpness,
her musical voice and clear intonation, with the charm invariably
attaching to her style, must have made her a very fascinating boy.
The plot of " Philaster " is more improbable than would be agreeable
to modern taste, while the motives and the sentiments of the
several characters would now be regarded as somewhat overstrained.
N otwithstanding, however, the somewhat qualified praise
of Pepys,2 who was " disappointed," and of Hallam 3 who describes
it as not first-rate, " Philaster " has always appeared to me a
very charming play, and one of the best of the productions of
Beaumont and Fletcher. It is admirable from a dramatic standpoint.
As a literary work it is far above the level of the dramatists

of the lines are strikingly beautiful, and even Hallam admits that it
contains " frequent sweetness of poetry."

P. 244 CURATE," a comedy, in five acts, by Beaumont and Fletcher.' (By the
King's players.)
The plot, which is laid in Spain, is not of a very interesting character,
and is probably taken from some Spanish source. I t has, however,
some droll situations. Amongst these is a scene in which Lopez, the
curate, and Diego, his sexton, call a meeting of the parishioners and
upbraid them for their wilful neglect of the interests of the church in
failing to marry, to have christenings, and to die, upon all of which
occasions fees are payable to the curate and the clerk. After a
colloquy carried on in mock solemnity, during which the curate and
sexton announce their intended departure, the parishioners prevail
on Lopez and Diego to remain, undertaking that the younger
members of the flock shall marry and provide christenings, and
that there shall be more funerals than of old. In another scene the
curate, who is assisting Leandro in an intrigue with the wife of
Bartolus, the parish lawyer, sends for the latter to make a will for
Diego, who is put into bed and represented as dying. The parishioners
assist in this function and take part in the instructions.
By various devices the lawyer is thus kept away from his house
while his place is supplied by the lady's lover.
Hallam speaks well of this play, and places it in the highest
rank.2 Pepys saw it twice, but apparently did not like it,3 though
he speaks of it as a good play. The characters of Lopez, the curate, in
this piece, of Sir Roger, the parson, in " The Scornful Lady," and of
Dominic, the friar, in " The Spanish Friar," indicate the low social
position which was occupied by the inferior ranks of the clergy in the
seventeenth century.

though somewhat coarse in language. Addison admired it and
admitted that the character of Vellum in " The Drummer" was taken
from that of Savil in " The Scornful Lady." Pepys saw it many
times, but gives no description or opinion of the play.2 The character
of the scornful, sharp-tongued but affectionate lady is skilfully and
effectively sustained throughout. Doll Common played Abigail, a
vicious and intriguing chambermaid, and M rs. Knepp a widow.'
Candlemas-day, 1681. Before the Lord Chancellor and Judges
—" LONDON CUCKOLDS," a comedy, in five acts, by Edward Ravenscroft.
(By the Duke's players.)
The author of this play was a member of the Middle Temple,'
who gave up the study of the law for dramatic composition. It was
written in disparagement of the city, and was a counterblast to their
disapproval of comedies and stage players. It was given for many
years on each 9th of November (lord mayor's day), at both Covent
Garden and Drury Lane. It is described in the " Life of James
Quin "5 as " the most rank play that ever succeeded." It certainly
cannot be contended that it is a decent play, but it must be admitted
that it is amusing. Some of the actresses, however, after a time
refused to perform any part in it, and in 1751 Garrick declared that
it should never disgrace the boards of his theatre. From that date
it has not been seen in London. It was given in our hall on grand
day in February, 1681-2, a special allowance being made to the
master of the revels. The lord chancellor (Lord Nottingham), a
former member of the society, and many of the judges, with other
distinguished persons, were present. As its first production was at
the theatre in Dorset Gardens in 1682,5 the performance at our inn
in February of that year was in the nature of a dress rehearsal,
or at all events one of its very earliest representations. It was published
later in 1682, " as it is acted at the Duke's theatre."' It

appears from this edition that Mrs. Barry, Mrs. Coror, and Mrs.

p. 183 On All Saints' Day, 1682, before the Judges.—" RULE A WIFE
p.
AND HAVE A WIFE," a comedy, in five acts by Beaumont and Fletcher.'
(By the Duke's players.)
This is founded on the same story as Shakespeare's " Catherine
and Petruchio," where a husband of humble position marries a headstrong
and imperious woman of fortune and good family, and moulds
her to his wishes by resolution, courage, and honesty of demeanour.
It is not a very interesting play, but it gives good scope for acting in
the principal parts, those of Leon, the husband, and Margarila, the
wife. Betterton is said to have played the principal part, Michael
Perez.' The under-plot, where an intriguing chambermaid takes in
a money-hunting colonel, is said to be borrowed from Cervantes,
but the type is common enough in plays of all countries, and the
original idea is probably beyond the limits of inquiry. Pepys,3 who
saw it in 1661, did not like it ; but Hallam,' discussing it as a literary
work, speaks of the vigour of the characters and the vivacity of the
humour, and thinks it must have required a powerful company to
play it well.

This play, produced by Wycherley in 1674, and printed in 1676,
has been the subject of much unfavourable criticism. There is
hardly a character in the piece in which one can take an honest
interest. It is said to have been partly founded on " Le Misanthrope "

of MoHere, and that the character of Fidelia, who follows her lover
in boy's clothes, is taken from " Viola " in " Twelfth Night," but the
distance in each case, between the foundation and the superstructure,
is immense. The dedication " To my Lady B.," a noted procuress
and plain-dealer, is perhaps the best part of the book.' William
Wycherley's father, Daniel, was a barrister of this inn, to which the
author was admitted in 1659 at the age of 19. In 1662 he was P. 7
appointed controller for the christmas. His portrait by Lely in 1668
presents him as a handsome young man. It was engraved in 1703,
and, according to Pope, Wycherley, then aged 64, in sickness and in
penury, himself suggested the motto, " quantum mutatus ab Mo."'
1st November, 1684, Allhallows-day.—" THE FOND H USBAND, P. 212
OR THE PLOTTING SISTERS," a comedy, in five acts, by T. Durfey.
(By the players of the Duke's house.)
Tom Durfey's various productions were popular at the time,
and this was probably one of his best.' It was licensed in June,
1676, and was played as late as i5th June, 1713, when Richard
Steele, having induced the management of Drury Lane to produce it
for the author's benefit, recommended the public to visit it and to
support " my old friend, Tom Durfey." Charles II. witnessed the
comedy on three of the first five nights of its performance.
4th November, 1685.—" THE SOLDIER'S FORTUNE," a comedy, in P. 230
five acts, by Thomas Otway. (By Mr. Davenant's players.)
This play was written by Otway after his return from Flanders,
where he was an officer in the Duke of Monmouth's regiment. It
was produced in 1681, Betterton4 and Mrs. Barry playing the
principal parts. It is a grossly indecent play, which is said to have
taken " extraordinarily well." The charge of indecency is, however,
combatted by Mrs. Aphra Behn, who professes to be shocked at the
pruriency of women who are ready to see indecency in it.5
2nd February, 1686-7.--" THE SPANISH FRIAR," called " The P. 244
Spanish Priest," a comedy, in five acts, by John Dryden. (By Mr.
Davenant's players.)

to the " Spanish Curate " by Beaumont and Fletcher, inasmuch as
the character of Loliez, the curate in the latter, resembles that of
Dominic, the friar, in the former. In both he is represented as a
sensual, scandalous priest, who easily lends himself, in consideration
of liberal doles, to an intrigue by the young wife of an old usurer
with a gallant lover. It must be admitted, however, that the Dominic
of Dryden is by far the more entertaining ecclesiastic of the two.
The serious portion of the play, where Torrismond, a valiant and
honest soldier, in love with Leonora, queen of Arragon, is opposed
by Bertram, a prince of the blood, also a courtier of the queen,
is marred by the tacit assent given by the queen to the murder of
the captive king in order to secure her marriage with Torrismond.
The scenes between him and the queen, and indeed every scene in
which either is on the boards, is finely written and impressive, and
the " Spanish Friar " may, I think, be fairly described as the best of
Dryden's plays. The climax, when it appears that Bertrand had
not carried out the murder and that the king still lives, does not
altogether relieve the unpleasant effect of the situation previously
created, although the queen's penitence and proposed retirement enlist
sympathy with her. The intrigue between Elvira, the usurer's wife,
and Lorenzo, a colonel in the queen's army, is interrupted by various
comical devices, and is ultimately put an end to, when they are in the
act of eloping, by the discovery that they are brother and sister—a
catastrophe which would not be altogether to the taste of the present
day, although it was apparently not objected to in the seventeenth or
eighteenth centuries. The play was prohibited at court by James I I.
on the ground of its treatment of the roman catholic priesthood.
After the revolution it was the first piece commanded by queen
Mary, who, in 1689, was present at its performance. The choice
was unfortunate, for the play abounds in expressions which were
hailed by the jacobites as applying to her conduct towards the deposed
king, her father, and unpleasant comments were made upon
her encouraging a drama which was said to be a slander upon the
roman catholic religion, his attachment to which had cost her father
a throne.' But Mary had been away from England for many years

before her accession and probably knew little, if anything, of the
plays then in vogue. Her distress during the representation, which
was followed by a continued enmity to Dryden, then leagued with
her enemies, whom she suspected of having brought about her discomfiture,
sufficiently shows that she had not been previously made
aware of the character of the piece."
1st November, 1687.—" THE CHEATS OF SCAPIN," a comedy, in P. 253
five acts, by T. Otway. (By players engaged by Mr. Davenant.)
This play is an adaptation of " Les Fourberies de Scapin," by
M olie re.
The revolution of 1688, which, without bloodshed, put William WILLIAM AND
and Mary upon the throne, is followed by a considerable diminution MARY.
in the interest of our records. Trials for high treason, which had
been frequent during the previous reigns, no longer occupied the
same prominent position. Judges, paid by fixed salaries, and irremoveable
except by a resolution of the two houses of parliament,
were no longer subject to the influence of the throne. Parliament
having assumed control of the general administration of the country,
the crown no longer interfered in the private affairs of its subjects
or in those of the inns of court. One great lawyer and independent
judge, Sir John Holt, occupied the post of lord chief justice from the
accession of William and Mary for a period of twenty-one years.
At the same time a great and immediate accession of business is
recognized. Our parliament and bench table orders become so
numerous and so voluminous that, as will be observed, it has been
necessary to re-arrange the principle upon which they are set out,
and by, what I hope will be considered, judicious curtailments, to
render them available for the purpose of these calendars. The civil
war had been followed by visitations of pestilence and of fire, which
endangered and crippled our society. Plots, a threatened outbreak
of a second civil war, an arbitrary and unconstitutional reign followed
by an informal abdication, had distracted the country. And now
that England had settled down to, what it hoped would prove, the
establishment of public peace and national prosperity, our society
joined in the general aspiration and proceeded to set its house in order.
One of the early steps was to introduce a more businesslike system

than heretofore by regulating the duties, emoluments and privileges of
the treasurer, the under treasurer, the benchers and other officials of
P. 175 the inn. It had been decided in 1682, that there should be a
p• 178
permanent under-treasurer whose duties, then defined, were from
p. 274 time to time extended as business increased. In June, 1691, the
earliest orders as to the treasurer appear in the minutes. Up to
this date, as will have been remarked, a treasurer was often re-elected
for several years, especially if he were one of the law officers, as had
recently happened in the case of Sir Heneage Finch, afterwards lord
chancellor. By the new orders, which are still in force, the treasurer
T.O. 21 was elected annually in Michaelmas term, for one year only, and not
T.O. 27 to be elected again until each bencher had served his turn according
to his seniority. The treasurer's emoluments, arising from fees and
otherwise, had hitherto been varying and uncertain. It was now
T.O. 25 declared that each treasurer should be allowed the sum of oo for
p. 275 the duties of his office. He was not to claim any further or other
recompense or allowance,' and was prohibited spending any sum
exceeding Z5 from the funds of the society without the leave of the
bench. By a further order, the question of precedence was settled
P. 276 strictly according to seniority of election, except in the cases of the
attorney and solicitor general, who, while in office, were allowed
T.O. 23 precedence. King's counsel, as such, were given no rights of
precedence. The choice of bench chambers, at a parliament, was
also declared to be according to seniority, beginning with the
T.O. 28 treasurer, and that no bencher should be eligible for such choice,
unless he had been personally present at the bench table, and had
dined twice in each of the two terms immediately preceding.
p. 277 Exceptions were, however, made in favour of members of parliament,
who in the interest of their constituents were not required
to keep these terms. With regard to appointments to the staff of
T.O. 78 the society, which had hitherto apparently been in the gift of the
p. 312 treasurer, it was ordered that the under-treasurer, the steward, and
the chief butler should always be appointed by the bench table
and confirmed by a parliament. Other servants (except the cook)
if their places fell vacant in term time were to be selected by the
p. 317 bench, but, if in vacation, then by the treasurer. The head cook's

place, however, was specially declared to be in the gift of the
treasurer, whether the vacancy occurred in or out of term. All
orders of the bench were to be regularly entered by the under- p. 319
treasurer, and the accounts of the treasurer and others to be duly
audited. Payments to the officers of the house, other than the
under-treasurer, on a call to the bar, were settled in June, 1697, at p. 335
,4-2 145. 6d., inclusi ve of 55. to the treasurer's clerk, but exclusive of
los. to the under-treasurer. Those on a call to the bench were left P. 323
as before. Twenty sets of chambers and no more were allotted to
the benchers, and arrangements were made, from time to time, to pay p. 312
for their repairs out of the funds of the house. Substantial sums p. 297
were allowed to certain benchers on account of the expenses of their P. 299
chambers in February, 1693, and in 1700, the treasurer, John p. 361
Clendon, was allowed ‘50 towards his repairs. Bench chambers
were also repaired at the cost of the inn after the great storm in p. 398
1704, and further orders were made in i 708. P. 434
About this time also, November, 1692, it was contemplated to
" transfer the interest of both Temples to trustees of both societies," P. 297
and the treasurer was directed to confer with his brother of the
Middle Temple and report the result to the inn. There is no such
report extant, but the question was revived in June, 1695, when a
resolution was passed " that a conference be desired with the Middle p. 316
Temple touching the lodging of the freehold of both Houses in an
equal number of each House." Nothing, however, was done in this
direction until 1732, when a deed of arrangement, and to some extent
of partition, was executed, by which the limits of the two societies
were finally determined.
I do not find any special orders or proposals for improving or
enforcing the study of the law. Students still learned their law at
moots and at lectures, by sitting in court, and, most important of all,
by regular study and attendance in barristers' chambers, followed by
imparlance, or by meetings or conferences to discuss among themselves
the various points which had arisen during the day.
The bench continued to exercise their antient jurisdiction
over the several inns of chancery, for which readers were regularly
appointed. The principal and antients of Clement's Inn were P. 267
summoned, in November, 1689, to show cause why they were not
in commons. Edward Gerrard, the principal, was ordered, in p. 278
p. 363

November, 1690, to clear and discharge his accounts for the seven
years he had been principal of that inn, the accounts to be duly
P. 8 audited, and all parties to attend the table. In November, 1690,
P. 279 the principal and rules of Clifford's Inn were summoned to show
cause why they did not elect a reader, and were ordered to do so
forthwith. A yearly rent of £6 3s. 4d. was received from Lyon's
Inn in respect of certain shops which belonged to this society within
the boundary of that inn, and readers were appointed as to our other
p. 302 inns of chancery. In November, 1693, the treasurer of Lyon's Inn
was summoned to show cause why he did not attend the reader
p. 311 appointed by this society. In March, 1693-4, an order was issued
that the treasurer and antients of Lyon's Inn do inquire what reputed
papists or " non-jurats " have chambers in the society, and return
their names to her majesty's commissioners in the Inner Temple
library on 24th March.
A memorandum, dated 25th January, 1689-90, refers to the case
P. 321 of William Fry at Gray's Inn. This gentleman was a member of
the society, and complained to the judges that he had been passed
over in calls to the bench. His appeal was heard by Chief Justice
Holt, Justice Gregory, and Barons Nevill and Turton. They
decided that it was discretionary with the benchers as to the person
and the time when they would call to the bench : and that they
could not be required to assign any reason for their refusal to call
any person to the bench, although if they had called and then disbenched
him they could be summoned to give their reason for such
p. 363 disbenching.1 On Friday, 7th February, 1700-I, an entertainment
was given to the treasurer and benchers of Gray's Inn. The hour
appointed was six o'clock in the afternoon, when the guests were
received by torchlight and entertained with canary for about half an
hour till the supper was ready in the library, and were then treated
to " a very handsome supper and plenty of Burgundy wine." The
festivities were prolonged until midnight, when the porters prepared
coaches for the masters of Gray's Inn and brought them to the hall
steps. The occasion of this unique act of hospitality is not recorded.
The garden and the general appearance of the inn, which had
been much considered under the commonwealth, was neglected after

the restoration. Beyond the payment of the gardeners' wages and
sums for paving the summerhouse and for new flower pots, little, if p. 18o
anything, appears to have been spent on the garden for a period of
over twenty-eight years. After the accession of the new king and
queen attention was again directed to its improvement, and it
rapidly assumed the appearance of a formal garden according to the
then prevailing taste. In 1689, King's Bench Walk was newly p. 269
planted with chestnut and lime trees. In the following year the
walks were newly gravelled at a cost of ,4'203 los., and an alehouse p. 271
kept by the gardener within the garden was shut up. A wall near
the King's Bench office was lowered to the level of the garden wall
next the Thames, and the bricks thus obtained were used to build
a greenhouse. The Alienation office having disappeared in the
great fire, possession of the garden, which lay between the King's
Bench office and Serjeants' Inn, was resumed by the society. In p. 5o
1693 it was taken in hand by the benchers and converted into a
private garden, of which each bencher had a key. It was called the p. 298
" bencher's garden," the " privy garden," or the " little garden," to
p. 32r
distinguish it from the great garden abutting on the river. Some p. 376
elms, which had formerly obstructed the view from Serjeants' Inn,
were cut down. Walks were made with broken shell, grass plats P. 357
were laid down, and a fountain with a lion's face and a copper
scallop shell to receive the water, was erected in the centre, under a
copper cherry tree with spreading branches. Bulbs were planted P. 424
which, with rows of orange trees in tubs, gave it the appearance of
P. 428
a dutch garden. In 1696, it was again put in order at a cost of P. 337
‘30, a sun-dial was set up, water was laid on, a tiled summer p. 320
house was built, and it became the subject of much attention from
the masters of the bench. The great garden also underwent a P. 333
similar transformation. The walks were newly laid with cockle
shells. Jessamines, peaches, "nectrons," cherries and plum trees
were supplied, and every year sums of money were devoted to it.
Numerous elm and lime trees were planted in rows, and others which p. 351
interfered with the symmetry of the broad walks were cut down.
Standard laurels, junipers, hollies and box trees were planted. P- 299
Under the treasurership of Sir Simon Harcourt (afterwards lord P. 378
chancellor) the garden was ornamented with fifteen yew trees in
pots, and the beds were filled with jonquils, tulips, yellow dutch

P. 391 Orange trees in tubs stood along the terrace. These were carried
to Islington for the winter, and returned to the Temple in the
summer until 1705, when a glass covered shed was constructed for
p. 406 their protection. In 1707 a pedestal for the dial on the great garden
steps was supplied, at a cost of £25, by Edward Strong. This was
the contractor for S. Paul's, which he built under Wren's superintendence.
By the end of the seventeenth century the inn had become well
supplied with taverns and coffee houses in its immediate vicinity.
The Devil tavern, as already mentioned, was a source of continual
trouble to the society. The Fountain tavern at the Temple Gate,
p. 294 formerly the Prince's Arms, of which Southerby was landlord and
p. 340
Dixon tenant, had opened windows into Inner Temple lane without
P. 341
the leave of the society. These were in May, 1698, stopped up
by order of the house, and were reopened only upon Dixon acknowledging
the right of the society to stop his lights and agreeing
to pay 25. 6c1.per annum as an acknowledgment and a rent, to " keep
apart for the use of the masters of the bench the best room in his
house upon any public show or occasion," and to sign the entry
in the records. This arrangement was duly carried out, and payments
will be found in respect of refreshments supplied to the
benchers when occupying a room at the Fountain to witness the
P. 370 proclamation of queen Anne and her visit to the city. The Rain-
P• 386
bow coffee house in Fleet Street, which had formerly belong-ed to
p. 299
Farr, and afterwards to his widow, under the name of Farr's coffee
house, had windows looking into Inner Temple Lane, and others
looking into Hare Court, and for these a payment was made by
p. 271 Hargrove, the tenant, of 6s. 8d. and 25. a year respectively. The
p. 2 - 3 windows in the Inner Temple Lane were to be obscured by lattices,
and the rooms in the basement to be used only as cellars. The Star
p. 261 was at the Inner Temple gate. This vintner was summoned before
P.
the bench table in May, 1689, for causing a nuisance by his bar
bells, etc. On promise of future good conduct he was dismissed.

help in preserving the Temple buildings from the conflagration
which was sufficiently near to be a source of considerable danger.'
The Horn tavern, where the two treasurers met in 1707, " about p. 406
the church," was on the other side of Fleet Street, and is now known
as Anderton's hotel. There were, also, in close proximity to both gateways,
a considerable number of taverns and coffee houses not actually
mentioned in our books. The Palsgrave Head was on the site now
occupied by Lloyd's Bank. Its occupant issued a -2td. token having,
on the obverse, the figure of a man in armour wearing a full wig and
holding in his left hand a short sword or baton, with an inscription,
THE PALSGRANT HEAD TAVERN. The reverse had, in the field, HER
HALFE PENNY D. D., inscribed WITHOVT • TEMPLE • BARR. Dick' s coffee
house was opened about 1688. The Hercules' Pillars, a house much
frequented by Pepys and his friends, as well as by the counsellors of
the Temple, was between the Inner Temple gate-house and Serjeants'
Inn. The proprietor of this house issued a token, having, on the
obverse, a figure of Hercules with a pillar in each hand, with the
inscription, THE HERCULUS PILLERS; on the reverse, the initials I. M. S.
and the inscription IN FLEET STREETE. There were also others, including
The' Cock, too numerous to mention. The Devil tavern or,
according to its correct name, The Dunstan and Devil tavern, one of
the oldest in London, was down an alley to the west of the Middle
Temple gateway, and occupied the spot known, from 1787 to 1879,
as Childs' Place. About the latter date it was taken into Childs'
bank. It faced the windows looking westward from Hare Court.
Tokens were issued in 1658 by John Simon Wadlow, the proprietor,
with the following inscription on the obverse : AT THE D[EVIL] AND
DUNSTAN'S, with S. Dunstan holding the devil by the nose : on the
reverse, WITHIN TEMPLE BARRE, with the initials J. S. W. From a
drawing by Cleghorne in 1746, its sign, hanging from an iron stanchion
into Fleet Street, displayed S. Dunstan sitting in a chair gazing at
his crucible, with the devil, as a black man, looking over his shoulder
and grinning. The devil, however, had long since supplanted the
saint in public estimation, and driven him out of the partnership, as
the tavern had, even from the time of Ben Jonson, been known by the
name of The Devil, and later on as The Old Devil to distinguish it

from The New Devil, started on the opposite side of the road about
1689.1 In 1666 James Farr of 7'he Rainbow issued a token, with
the inscription on the obverse : JAMES FARR, 1666, with a rainbow
based on clouds ; on the reverse, IN FLEET STREET : HIS HALF-
PENNY. He had formerly kept a coffee house, being the second
house of that character opened in London. In respect of this house
he was prosecuted in 1657 for annoying his neighbours by " evil
smells" in " making of a drink called coffee," and setting fire to his
chimney to the danger of Daniel Pakeman of the Rainbow. He
seems after this to have acquired The Rainbow, where he issued his
tokens and made a considerable fortune.2
p. 309 Jeffryes' portrait having been removed from the hall in February,
1693-4, the treasurer was ordered in June of that year to provide
the portraits of king William and queen Mary, "to be set up in the
hall." A commission was accordingly given to Sir Godfrey K neller,
and the portraits, now in our hall, were painted by him at a cost
P. 310 (including the frames) of L60. At the same time that the monarchs
of the revolution were thus honoured, the portraits of those old
champions of the law, Sir Edward Coke and Sir Thomas Littleton,
P- 315 were reframed by " Driver, the picture frame maker," at a cost of
P- 320 £8, and were hung up in the hall with " hooks and rings, with plates,
P. 321 screws, and nails." The queen's portrait, however, was not long in
the hall before she passed away. It was placed there after the long
vacation of 1694, and in December of that year her majesty was
attacked by small pox, to which, after a short illness, she succumbed.

A catalogue of London Traders' tokens, p. 83. " Brief Lives," by John Aubrey,
Oxford, 1898, vol. i., p. I to, gives an interesting account of James Farre. I have
obtained a drawing of the token of The Devil tavern from Chambers' "Book of Days,"

below. Tokens of the Palsgrave Head and Hercules Pillars are in my
possession.

INTRODUCTION. lxxxiii
Hereulogy, which was pronounced in the Temple church by the master,
Dr. William Sherlock, dean of St. Paul's, is considered a masterpiece
of style as a funeral oration. It was, however, after the
fashion of the times, made the subject of violent attacks by journalists
and preachers opposed to the revolution.
The pound piece, which under the name of a " guinea," being WILLIAM III.
made of fine gold from New Guinea, was first issued in March,
1663,' became a source of trouble which culminated in the reign of
king William and was dealt with by the Recoinage Act.2 Owing to
the continued depreciation in value of silver coins from clipping and
other causes, the guinea had become of the value of thirty shillings,
at which price it was accepted in payment of taxes and other government
charges. The Recoinage Act had fixed the highest price of a
guinea at twenty-two shillings, at which value it would be accepted
by the government on and after the 4th May, 1696. The effect of p. 338
these new regulations appears in our accounts for 1695-6. In
accordance with an order of the bench that this house should bear p. 326
the loss on the fall in value of the guineas, the under-treasurer was
allowed ‘45 I 2S. on 114 guineas which had fallen from thirty p. 328
to twenty-two shillings„4- o on 25 guineas at a loss of eight P. 329
shillings per guinea, and .4'i 6s. on 61 guineas at a loss of four
shillings per guinea. The exact dates of these allowances are not
given, but as the 4th May was the last day upon which clipped silver
would be received at all by the government, and as the new coinage
was being rapidly issued, they may fairly be assumed to have been
of some date between the passing of the act in January and the 4th
May, 1696.3
The supplying of good and sufficient water to the inn had been
effected in 1619 under the auspices of Sir Hugh Middleton. A Vol. ii., p. 114
system of lighting the courts and passages of the inn was undertaken
during the reign of king William. Soon after the great fire
of 1666 various schemes were tried, and patents were granted to
Reeves, Vernatty, Lyndus, and others, for the proper lighting of

streets and other public and private places.' None of these plans
appear to have commended themselves to our society until after the
year 1694, when, according to Knight,' a licence was granted by
the corporation to certain persons interested in " glass lights, commonly
called or known by the name of convex lights," for the sole
supply of the public lights in all public places in the city for
P. 351 twenty-one years. Taking advantage of this new scheme, our
benchers in 1698-9 contracted with the proprietors of the convex
lights for lighting the society, with sixteen lamPs for a year, at £40.
P. 368
The light was also tried in 1702 in a glass lamp in the church, but
it was not successful, and was taken down and sent back to the
p. 412 proprietors. A better fate attended the lights in a branch brass
candlestick in the hall, which was put up in 1708. In J uly, 1704,
Richard Cole patented " an extraordinary way or invention of formirig
glasses in conical figures and lamps, to be used not only in
streets and other public and private places but also in mines and
quarries underground and in ships at sea." The convex lights not
p. 432 being apparently satisfactory, the bench, in 1711, tried the conical
lights and agreed with the proprietors for lighting the inn, by their
system, at £40 a year. Under this contract the inn continued to
be lighted until the end of the reign of queen Anne.
The exterior of the church having been put into thorough
repair, and the interior having been decorated under Charles I I. and
James I I., there was little need for expenditure during the succeeding
reigns. Some miscellaneous entries, however, relating to the
church and its services may be interesting. The night burials,
which were frequent under the commonwealth and previously, continued
for some few years after the restoration, but ceased, so far as
they are recorded, after the death of Dr. Ball in 1684. Sums were
PP• 271, 320 paid, apparently for the first time in 1689, for the decoration of the
p. 260 church at Christmas with holly, ivy, rosemary, and bay leaves. In
p. 291 1692 the master was requested to cause " his most pious and loyal
sermon, preached on Sunday last," to be printed. In 1700 the
psalms of Brady and Tate were substituted for the older psalter of
P. 348 Sternhold and Hopkins, and thirteen psalm books were purchased at

A small amount was from time to time expended on necessary
repairs to the church, but nothing substantial was done until the
treasurership of Nicholas Courtenay, 1694-5. During this period a
sum, amounting altogether to about £230, was paid by this society as
their proportion of the outlay. There is no description of the work,
but it appears from the " New View of London," that the southwest
exterior was newly built with stone and the following inscription
set upon the walls :

On the 26th and 27th of November, 1703, a terrific hurricane, ANNE
only approached in intensity by the storm which raged through
all Europe on the 3rd of September, 1658, the day of Cromwell's
death, swept the whole face of England. It damaged property,
in London alone, to the amount of over £2,000,000. It destroyed
great quantities of shipping and wrecked the Eddystone lighthouse,
and it had its natural effect on our inn. Numerous entries
show the damage done to our tenements, including the master's p. 385
house, which suffered severely, and was restored at the cost of the
two societies. Like, however, the great fires of the seventeenth
century, the " Great Storm," as it is called, had no evil effect upon
the structure of our church, which thus escaped the hurricane as it
had escaped the conflagration. In February, 1703-4, further and
other repairs to the church became necessary, and it was agreed to
Vol. ii., p. 562.

lxxxvi INTRODUCTION.
P. 385 join with the Middle Temple in the necessary cost. The work
does not appear to have been very pressing, and it was not, in
fact, undertaken until 1705-6, when, according to the " New View of
London," 1 the interior was newly whitewashed, gilt and painted, and
the pillars of the round portion were wainscotted. A new battlement
and buttresses were added on the southern side, the east end
p. 407 of the church was mended with stone, and other parts of the outside
were effectively repaired. The figures of the knights were once more
cleaned and painted, and the iron work inclosing them was painted
1).406 and gilt. The amount expended according to the accounts for i 706-7
was, for our share, about £605, including the erection of a new
p. 407 " cupilow," or cupola for the saints bell at the south side of the
church.- A " knight templar " was also mended with plaster of Paris,
at a cost of 4s11.
In the course of the year i7o5-6, not long after the appointment
of Dr. Thomas Sherlock to the mastership, questions arose as to the
respective positions of the master and the benchers of the two
societies, principally in reference to the fees to be taken on burials.
The patent of 1608, which put the benchers into possession of the
entire soil of the Temple, and imposed upon them certain obligations
in regard to the church, left the position of the master somewhat
Vol. ii., P. 171 undefined. Dr. Micklethwaite made claims of an excessive and
unreasonable character, which were not allowed by the benchers,
and, on his appeal to the privy council, were not sustained. Dr.
Sherlock, a man in sympathy with the Temple, found his position
also in many respects unsatisfactory. After some discussion a
committee was appointed, consisting of five benchers of each society.
p. 402 They reported on the 6th June, 1706,2 as to the fees taken in
former times, and at the date of their report, for the soil and for
the service. For the soil, the fees formerly varied from L-2 in the
chancel above the steps, to iosh. in the round walk and elsewhere
below the chancel and aisle, and for the service 5sh. to the curate,
4sh. to the clerk, and 3s/z. 4d. to the gravemaker. At the time
of the report the rates were, in the round, for the soil Z1, for the
service, to the master, loth., to the clerk, 5s/z., to the sexton, 2sh. 6d.
For other burials the rates for the soil varied from i osh. to £3' the

curate, the clerk and the sexton taking the respective fees of 5sh., 4sh.,
and 3sh. 4d. They also reported that it lay upon the master to
supply the church, at his own cost, with a minister or reader, and a
clerk or sexton, and to officiate daily in the church, either in person or
by deputy. That the Inner House had ordered a payment of ZIoo per
annum to be made to Dr. Ball, and subsequently to Dr. W. Sherlock,
which had regularly been paid, the Middle Temple, in like terms,
ordering a payment of ,.70 per annum. But that these were
voluntary payments, and remained in force so long only as the
respective societies were agreeable thereto. This report was
affirmed by the benchers of the two societies in 1607. The burials,
however, decreased annually in number, and the question seems thus
to have been set at rest. We have no copy of Dr. Sherlock's
patent, under which it was said that the master was bound to
provide at his own expense a reader and a clerk. There is, however,
among the " Miscellanea "1 a copy of the patent granted to Dr.
Benson in October, 1826. This appoints him master of the New
Temple, and " in consideration of daily service and duty to be
celebrated in the said church," gives him all profits and advantages
arising therefrom " in as ample manner and form as Dr. Ball, Dr.
William Sherlock and Dr. Thomas Sherlock . . . enjoyed the
same," together with an annuity of £37 6s. 8d, to be paid out of
the exchequer. It proceeds :
" We will nevertheless and our intention is that the said Christopher
Benson shall from time to time find one Priest, Presbiter or Minister to
administer and serve in all and all manner of Divine Services and offices
belonging to such Minister within the church aforesaid. And to administer
or cause to be administered the Sacrament to all and singular persons residing
within the New Temple as often as need shall be. And also one other man
called Clerk and Sexton to attend, observe, and execute all and singular
matters and things which belong and appertain to such offices within our said
church, and that only at the cost, charges and expence of him the said
Christopher Benson."
It would seem, therefore, that the patent issued to Dr. Thomas
Sherlock was in the same form as that under which Dr. Benson and
his predecessors held the office, and that the societies of the Temple
not only acted in a voluntary spirit in making the yearly allowance

to the master, but also in defraying the expenses of the reader or
curate, the clerk and the sexton. This cost they have uniformly
borne from the time of king James I.
Queen Anne came to the throne in March, 1702. In Michaelmas
term of that year it was unanimously agreed that the treasurer, Sir
Simon Harcourt, should cause her majesty's portrait to be painted
and placed in the hall. This commission he entrusted to Sir Godfrey
Kneller, who had finished the work early in the following year. On
the 28th January he was paid L8o, and the picture now in our
possession was placed in the hall. In September, 1709, Sir James
Thornhill, who was then in high favour with the queen, painted for
the hall of our society, at the price of £70, the picture of Pegasus,
surrounded by Neptune and the Muses, springing from Mount
Helicon. The arrangement of the pictures in the hall at the death
of queen Anne was as follows. At the east end of the hall the queen
was in the centre, with William and Mary, and the two judges, Coke
and Littleton, on either side. Towards the western end was a screen,
beyond the screen the music room or gallery, and over that Sir James
Thornhill's picture, which fitted the upper part of the western wall.'
The difficulty arising from the multitude of strangers within the
inn, which had been felt during and since the commonwealth, had
become more pronounced after the restoration, and stringent orders
were made, from time to time, for their expulsion. Before the
accession of queen Anne the number of these objectionable persons
had considerably decreased, in consequence, as I presume, of the
stricter and more business-like mode in which the affairs of the
society had been conducted. It was probably owing in some measure
to this, as well as to other causes, that the financial position of the inn
had, by 1704, become very unsatisfactory. In order to relieve the
pressure, fifteen members of the bench joined with the treasurer in
advancing £50 each, without interest, towards paying the debts of
the house. This ,4"Soo was to be repaid as and when the arrears of
commons and other duties should be received. Payments were
also made by gentlemen, on their call, towards the expenses of the
organ. The sums varied, between 1706 and 1714, from to ,*36.

terms during the later years of the reign of William I I I ., and the entertainments,
after the peace of Ryswick in November, 1697, appear to
have been reduced in number and in cost. An attempt was made to
relieve this dulness and to revive in the hall some of the old customs.
Thus, the players were more frequently in attendance,' and it was
desired by some of the bench to restore the old practice of dancing
in the hall. As the old regulations were presumably still in force,
several members were called up to the table for not dancing on P. 381
grand night in the previous Michaelmas term, and fines pro non
saltando were imposed. These were afterwards remitted, but in
November, 1704, it was ordered that the antient exercise of dancing p. 389
be revived, and that " for non-performance the usual amercements
be imposed." This revival, in the reign of queen Anne, of the
customs of the time of queen Elizabeth, does not appear to have been
very successful. It was certainly not in accordance with the sentiment
of the day, when the dancing men probably preferred the society
of ladies, pro sallando, to that of each other. Nor was this formal
dancing publicly regarded with much favour. In the " Virtuoso," a
comedy by Shadwell, published about the date of these orders of
revival, the solemn and grave motions of the benchers dancing at
their revels are dealt with as a common topic of derision.2
About this time also a scheme, which had previously been pro- p. 383
pounded and favourably received, was finally adopted. By this
arrangement the steward undertook the catering for the hall, providing
all necessary food, and taking for his payment the commons
then paid, with certain allowances for grand days and other special
occasions. The gentlemen messed either three or four together, p. 384
" as formerly in this society," and gave their names to the butler as
they came into commons and went out. The manciple with his
duties thus came to an end, and the provisioning of the society was
done by contract. In 1708 a new steward (Trowell) was appointed
under new conditions. He apparently undertook to make annual
payments to the house in consideration of his post. The price of
provisions, however, rose considerably after this year, and, in consequence
of application by him on this ground, he was in 1709 remitted p- 423

E, oo. In 1713 a committee was appointed to go through the
1)1). 438, 439 steward's accounts, to see what contract ought to be made with him
and what he ought to be paid.
The insistence on the privileges of the Temple, as an antient
sanctuary, was maintained after the revolution as it had been under
James I. and Charles I I. In August, 1697, a debtor from Cornwall,
named Humphrey Borlase, who had been arrested within the Inner
Temple, was rescued by the members of our society, who resisted
the officers and caused a great hubbub, in the course of which several
persons were wounded.' This being reported to the benchers, an
p. 336 order was passed " That this society will maintain the antient
privileges of the House and defend the prosecution against the
persons concerned in the pretended rescue of Humphrey Borlase,
I). 338 Esquire." Their intervention appears to have been to some extent
successful, as the indictments were quashed, at a cost to the inn of
1-46 los. 8d. An action having been brought in Michaelmas term
ao-ainst the debtor and others,2 and motion made to hold the defendants
to special bail in ,4-400, the lord chief justice (Sir J. Holt) held
that although the Temples were extra parochial and not in the cily
of London or its franchise, yet they were in the county of London
and within the reach of justice, citing cases where felonies had been
committed in the Temple and the felons convicted at the Old
Bailey. As to executing of fi-fa or arresting of the students of
the Temple, he said there should be due regard paid to the inns of
court and the members of the inn, but not to be extended to persons
who came thither by fraud and sheltered themselves there with an
intent and purpose to cheat their creditors : and finding that the
defendant Borlase came from Gray's Inn with this purpose, irregularly
and without any certificate from the treasurer, as there should have
been, the defendants were ruled to find special bail, which was
afterwards fixed at ‘200. This result appears to have been
regarded as establishing the claim of the templars, for I find
during the reign of queen Anne that, on two occasions, permission
p. 409 was solicited of the benchers and granted by them under special

conditions, to arrest a debtor within the precincts of the Temple.
In neither case, however, was the debtor a member of our society,
and in each case he was served with notice of the intended arrest.
William Petyt, whose services to the society in 1669 have P. 74
already been mentioned, died in October, 1707, at the age of 71,1 App., p. 461
and was buried in the Temple church. He had served the several
offices of the inn, having been bencher in 1689, reader in 1694, and p. 304
treasurer in 1701-2. His name appears frequently on committees, • 37°
and he took great interest in our affairs. During the course of his
long career, for many years of which he was keeper of the records in
the tower of London, he had made an extensive and valuable collection
of antient MSS., among them being original letters of kings and
queens of this country, of diplomatists, of foreign agents, and of other
distinguished persons. These were kept in the Inner Temple, where
they still remain. He had also caused copies to be made of the
journals of parliament, of certain royal charters, and of other legal
and historical documents to which his official position had given him
access. At the time of Petyt's death, and for many succeeding
generations, these MSS. were invaluable to the historian and the
antiquary. Of late years, however, the labours of the master of the
rolls, and his assistants in the record office, of the commissioners
of public records, of the historical MSS. commission, and of other
public bodies, have deprived Petyt's collections of their special
value. Among his papers are a series of letters which passed
between roman catholics in England, during the reign of queen
Elizabeth, throwing an interesting light upon the inner life of the
catholic community at that period. By his will, which was dated p.
12th July, 1705, he left certain of his MSS. and books, which are p. 413
set out in our under-treasurer's receipt, in trust that they should be
kept together for the public use in a proper place, towards the procurement
of which he left a sum of £150, to be employed at the
discretion of his executors. He also bequeathed ,4-50 to each of
the societies of the Temple for the purchase of books for their
respective libraries. His brother and executor, Sylvester Petyt, p. 420

transferred to the benchers of the Inner Temple the entire collection,
P. 417 together with a sum of ‘150 towards the completion of a new or
additional library, which they then had in contemplation. A pay-
P. 393 ment, in November, 1705, of £20 5s. for the carving in the library
during the treasurership of Thomas Walker, indicates the room then
used as a second library. The fine carving over the fireplace (believed
to be the work of Grinling Gibbons), bears the inscription,
T. THOMA WALKER ARM : A.D. 1705,
which sufficiently identifies it as the subject of this payment. In
p. 411 1708-9 £50 paid to Cordwell the carpenter on account of his contract
to build a new library, and a further payment of £100 on
p. 425 account, in 1709-10, show that Petyt's legacy was employed in
the construction of a library other than that in existence in 1705. In
this room, fitted throughout with bookcases and used as a library,
Petyt's MSS., under lock and key, reposed for many generations.
Our obligations to Petyt do not cease with the gift of his books and
his MSS. and his contribution towards the construction of a new
library. We have, at the present time, in addition to our law library,
consisting of some 26,000 volumes, a library of general history and
literature. This comprises about 35,000 volumes, duly catalogued.
It includes histories of all countries, county histories, books on
theology, architecture, painting, the fine arts, and every class of
p. 416 work essential to a complete general library. The acquisition and
arrangement of Petyt's books and MSS. were followed by the appointment,
in June, 1709, of a librarian or library keeper, at a yearly
P. 417 salary of £20. Mr. Samuel Carter, the first holder of this office,
was required to find two sureties in the sum of £1,000, and to
attend in the library, from Lady day to Michaelmas, from 9 a.m.
to noon and from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., and from Michaelmas to Lady
day, from 10 a.m. to noon, and from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. In 1713,
P. 438 Joshua Blew having succeeded Mr. Carter as keeper of the
library, an order was made by the bench that " the treasurer
for the time being do lay Out £20 yearly out of the treasury in
purchasing of books for the library." This accession of works of
creneral interest in 1708, together with the means of harbouring
them in a suitable place, thus formed the nucleus, if not the foundation,
of the valuable library which our society now possesses.

INTRODUCTION. xciii
A portrait of William Petyt has hung for many generations in
our parliament chamber. It represents him in a garb, probably
that of keeper of the tower records. One hand holds a parchment
deed, the other has a half open book. In the upper corner is his
coat of arms, together with his motto, Qui s'estime Pelyt deviendra
grand. There is no definite entry relating to the gift of this portrait
to the society, but there is little doubt that it came with other things
from the estate of Sylvester Petyt. This gentleman by his will
bearing date the 23rd of May, 1719, refers to the portraits of
his brother and himself " which are now in the house in Belle Savage
Yard " and desires that they may be set up in the church library at
Skipton, Yorks, of which he was a substantial benefactor if not the
founder, and to the poor of whose parish William had also bequeathed
a legacy. Sylvester's portrait was accepted by the parish
of Skipton and put up in the library, where it still hangs. William's
portrait is not there, and seems to have found its natural resting
place in the library of the Inner Temple to which William was so
great a benefactor. A portrait of Sylvester Petyt, by Richard van
Bleeck, is in the National Portrait Gallery.'
In an inventory taken about the time of queen Anne's death, the
" Grace Book " is mentioned. It was kept in the buttery by the
chief butler, whose duty it was to lay it on the table before the
treasurer at each meal. It is a small volume about nine inches
by seven, is in MSS. throughout, and appears from the handwriting,
in some parts, to be of the fifteenth century. The only
graces which it now contains, of the " diverse gracie " mentioned in
the contents, are three in number written in latin on a paper interleaved
by Joshua Blew, who was chief butler and keeper of the library in
1713. The graces which, according to the table of contents, were
originally in the book were probably transferred to a grace book of a
later date when this was withdrawn from use. A great portion of
the contents, in addition to the latin graces, has also been removed.
There remain in the book an interesting " table of contents," which
will be found in the Appendix, and a kalendar, with tables for finding
the Sunday letter and the moveable feasts, beginning in 1436 ( t4

coloured astronomical and astrological charts. At the foot of the
kalendar for each month are rhyming latin verses giving seasonable
advice as to food and medical treatment, and expressing moral
vol. ii., p. 24 sentiments. The earliest reference to this book is on the first page
of our first book of accounts. It is dated 1605-6, and is " for mending
the Grace Book, bosses and clasps, new glueing it and putting
i/Iid ,pp.IIo,141, in new parchments, 4sh. 6d." It was mended again in 1618, in
322
p. 82 1623, in 1656, and in 167 Ir. The present binding is of a commonplace
and modern character, the bosses and clasps have disappeared,
and the edges have been cut. On one of the blank pages Joshua
Blew has made the following entry :

I have not been able to trace any direct personal connection
between John Nethersole and the Inner Temple. He belonged to a
family settled near Barham in Kent. In the list of counsel practising
in the reign of Henry VII. are the three Kentish names of John
Fineux, of Gray's Inn,' John Nethersole, of Lincoln's Inn, and John
Roper, of the Inner Temple.' Among the principal benefactors of
the city of Canterbury, through whose munificence S. Michael's
Gate was rebuilt in 1475, is John Nethersole, whose name was
inscribed on the stone.3 In 1498 he was appointed, along with Sir
John Fineux, a commissioner of oyer and terminer for Maidstone
and Canterbury.' Towards Lincoln's Inn, of which he was admitted
a member in 1481, he was very charitably disposed, and a gift of 40
marks to that society towards building a library, in consideration of

masses to be said by their chaplain for the repose of his soul, is duly
recorded in their books.' His will, signed on the 12th September,
1504, was proved on the iith February, 1504-5, by John Roper, one
of his executors and residuary legatees.' By it he gives many
legacies to churches and ecclesiastical foundations, chiefly in and
about Canterbury, but nothing to either Lincoln's Inn or the Inner
Temple. It is therefore reasonable to assume that the gifts to the
two societies were made before September, 1504. He appoints as
his executors and residuary legatees John Fyneux, chief justice of
the lord king, to hold pleas " coram ipse rege," John Roper, William
Nethersole his brother, Roger Lychefeld, and John Man, and, as
overseers, the Abbot of S. Augustin's and the Prior of Christchurch,
Canterbury. John Roper, who came from Linstede, in Kent, was of
a family of lawyers, members of the Inner Temple. He married a
daughter of Sir John Fineux, the lord chief justice,' of Swingfield, in
Kent, and was for some time attorney-general to Henry VI II.' He
died in 1524. His eldest son, William, married the eldest daughter
of Sir Thomas More, and was the author of his biography.5 A John
Roper became, by assignment, owner of one moiety of the master's
house in or about 1542, a property which the same or another John
Roper sold in 1586. There were other Ropers, also members of the
society. It is possible, therefore, that the benefaction above indicated
may have accrued to this inn through the testator's neighbour and
colleague at the bar, John Roper.
The conclusion of this volume, which ends, for a time, the publication
of our records, brings down the history of our inn to the
accession of George I. Commencing in the reign of Henry VII.,
when the dynastic contentions of the wars of the roses were for
ever set at rest, and concluding with the reign of Anne, when the
then kingdoms of England, Scotland, and Ireland were consolidated
and formed into one, our records cover a period of over two
hundred years. We have, in that cycle, the story of the Tudors
and of the Stuarts, of the struggles of the great rebellion, of the

attempted reforms and the failures of the puritan ascendency, of
the wealth of our society in its earlier history, and of its poverty
in later days. The picturesquely medixval appearance of our inn,
with its hanging signs, its bastelle, its refectory and lodgings for
the priests, its chapels for the patron saints, had disappeared before
the restoration. Fires, of unusual ferocity, had laid waste the antient
buildings of our society which afterwards assumed the monotonous
but utilitarian aspect of to-day. All the courts of our inn, King's
Bench Walk, our eastern boundary, and the cloisters had been destroyed
and rebuilt. The great garden had been re-laid, re-turfed,
and planted in the fashion of Haarlem and Amsterdam, and other
little formal gardens, no longer to be found, had sprung up within our
walls. There remained only, of our old foundation, the church and
the antient hall of the templars, the ruined chapel of S. Ann hidden
by the adjacent buildings, and some groined arches which indicated
the old time features of our home. The highway to the inn was
still the river, the great thoroughfare of the metropolis, and the
antient privileges and exemptions of the society were still jealously
guarded. Pure water and public lighting had cleansed the inn and
added to its health and its security, and the plague, which, for over
one hundred and fifty years, was an annual though unwelcome
guest, had, by the end of the seventeenth century, altogether disappeared.
The governors, who in former days reigned over us, had
long since ceased to form part of our system. The crown and the
council had ceased to interfere with the inns of court, and the
benchers, of their own motion had, by a series of orders, established
the rules which even to-day guide our deliberations. Contemporaneously
with the feeling of independence which followed
the revolution of 1688, the costly compliments and the sumptuous
entertainments to royal favourites and powerful ministers, which
formed a part of our antient programme, had come to an end. In
another respect also time had worked a change. Our inns of
chancery had, by the eighteenth century, ceased to be exclusively
seminaries of learning, and had become little more than lodgings
for young students or for elderly aspirants to the honourable and
lucrative dignity of a principal or a treasurer. Through the whole
of these two hundred years, we find a steadfast adherence to the timehonoured
system by which the active workers of the profession of the

INTRODUCTION. xcvii
law are divided into two branches distinct and well-defined. We see
our students drawn from the same class of the community. We notice
an ever-increasing affinity with the two universities, and the liberal
arts still cultivated by our members. In the matter of legal education
alone, we recognize, during this period, little or no advance. No
perceptible difference existed between the training of the chief justices
of Henry VI. and queen Anne. The curriculum of study described
by Sir John Fortescue, in 1470, might equally well have served for
an exposition by Sir John Holt, in 1710.
The church, round which our professional homes were clustered,
had witnessed many changes. The old established religion with the
prior and his priests, carrying the badge of knighthood and serving
the order of S. John in the New Temple, had given place to the
servants of the reformation. The revival of the mass, with its
reactionary violence under Mary, had been succeeded by the restoration
of the protestant faith under Elizabeth. The high church
doctrines of Laud and his admirers had been followed by the outburst
of puritanism. The attempted resuscitation of the old religion
by James I I. had induced many years of clerical and literary conflict
in the pulpit and in the press, and our church had become, at times,
the battlefield of contending ecclesiastics. But the consecrated
temple itself, after its varied experience of altars, of tables, of vestments,
of pulpits, of ornaments, and of whitewash, presented in the
time of Anne a building not without attraction. Its former embellishments
had gone, but it was still the alma maler of the two
societies, and it was endowed with all the classical and architectural
decoration which the greatest architect of the day could, without
impropriety, add to the beauty of its original design.
The nineteenth century has swept away the handiwork of
Wren, of Gibbons, and of other masters, and has reproduced, as far
as may be, the medival tone of the antient church. Modern
initiative has added to the antient system a broad and liberal scheme
of legal instruction, and the good fellowship of the templars brings
together, day by day, hundreds of barristers and students in our
common hall. What the future may have in store for this purely
English institution, described in our liturgy as " the two learned
and honorable societies of this House," we may not know. It
suffices that in the main principles of our society, in its collegiate

xcviii INTRODUCTION.
character, in the freedom and the equality of our members, in the
study and maintenance of the law, and in the recognition of our part
in the administration of justice, we have trodden in the footsteps of
our fathers, have bettered their instruction and improved their ways.
The homes of our great lawyers may, like the hours noted on the
sundial, pass away and be no longer thought of, but their memories
will be venerated by English people, so long as they are proud of
their country's history and of the spirit of their country's laws.

6 A CALENDAR OF THE [166i
ACTS OF PARLIAMENT.
PARLIAMENT held On 24 November, 13 Charles I I., A.D. 1661, before
JOHN HEATH, attorney of the Duchy, EDWARD JOHNSON, ARTHUR
TREAVOR, and others. SIR HENEAGE FINCH, treasurer.
" Whereas grand readings in the Inns of Court were originally
instituted for the improving of students and professors of the law, in
the knowledge and learning of the statutes and laws of this kingdom,
and never intended that the readers should, after all their pains and
study in the performance of that exercise, be put unto such great and
excessive cost and charges in unnecessary feasting and entertainments,
as is not only very prejudicial to the readers in their estates
and fortunes, but contrary to the very institution of readings, and
have been a principal occasion of the long discontinuance of that
exercise, the great and excessive cost and charges having much
discouraged the undertaking and reviving of the same. For a full
remedy whereof, and to the end that readings may for the future be
reduced to their primitive institution, and that no person may be
discouraged from the performance of that exercise by the unnecessary
and expensive cost and charges thereof, be it therefore enacted by
the authority of this Parliament, that for the time to come, no reader
of this society shall come into the hall, any night during the time of
his reading, in order to keep any supper, except it be for the first day
when the reader is to take his place in the hall, neither shall any reader
of this society invite or entertain in the hall any strangers upon any
reading days, to the end that he may for the benefit of the students
and other fellows of this society the better intend the performance of
that exercise, without improvident excess.
" Whereas the liberty formerly granted to the gentlemen of this
society in time of Christmas, intended only for a civil and moderate
recreation, hath for many years past degenerated into licentiousness
and disorder, to the great offence of Almighty God, the scandal and
dishonour of this society, the corrupting and debauching of divers
young gentlemen, members of the same, and unless timely prevented,
may endanger the total subversion of the good government thereof,
and although great care hath been taken and divers good acts from
time to time made for the regulating of Christmas commons and

166r ] INNER TEMPLE RECORDS. 7
redress of such shameful disorders, yet they have always proved
fruitless and unsuccessful, and have not produced that good effect
expected from them, for the preventing therefore of so great mischief,
inconveniences, and further growing evil of this nature in time to
come, It is upon full debate and consideration thereof had, ordained,
and enacted that for the time of Christmas now next ensuing, no
commons shall be kept within this House, but the commons of this
House shall dissolve and break up on the Saturday after dinner preceding
St. Thomas' day next, and not begin again until the Saturday
night next ensuing the feast of Epiphany, and in the mean time the
keys and possession of the hall, buttery, kitchen, and other rooms and
places of like public office for this House, shall be left, remain, and
abide in the custody and disposition of the treasurer of this society,
to the end this present act may more effectually be observed and
executed in all respects.
" Whereas in order to preserve the government of this House
against all disorders and tumults, the power of inflicting the punishments
of suspension from commons, putting out of commons, forfeiture
of chambers, amercements, and expulsion have been by the ancient
orders of this House imposed upon the several fellows of this society
according to the respective faults and crimes committed against the
orders of this House ; and whereas of late times divers fellows of
this society have upon occasion of imposing any the said punishments,
endeavoured to raise a mutiny by giving countenance to the
person or persons so deservedly punished, and in order thereunto,
have not only put themselves out of commons but persuaded other
fellows of this society to do the same, thereby giving countenance
and abetting the persons so offending. For remedy whereof, be it
enacted by this present parliament and by the authority of the same,
that in case any member of this society shall, for any offence by him
committed against the orders of this society, be either suspended, put
out of commons, expelled, or otherwise punished, that then, if any
fellow or member of this society shall in countenance of such offender,
so put out of commons, either put himself out of commons or persuade
any others to put themselves out of commons, or otherwise abet the
said person so offending or punished, as aforesaid, that then all and
every person, so offending, shall forfeit his and their chamber and be
absolutely disabled from being called to the bar or bench and to be

8 A CALENDAR OF THE [1661-2
subject to such other punishment as the bench for the time being
shall think fit to impose."
Special admissions of Henry and Thomas Pagett ; of Robert
Johnson, at the request of his uncle, Edward Johnson of the bench ;
and of Samuel Hopkins, son of Sir Richard Hopkins of the bench,
at the request of his father.
The petitions of Henry Chilton, steward, and of James Ellis are
referred to the table.
It is ordered that Dr. Ball, master of the Temple, shall be
allowed from this society 25/i. per quarter in full satisfaction for all
dues and demands whatsoever from this society. And for the better
raising of such monies, as already are or hereafter shall be payable
from this House to Dr. Ball for his preaching in the Temple church,
it is ordered that every fellow, who has a chamber, shall pay every
term as follows : every bencher, 2S. 6d.; every utter barrister, 25. ;
every other fellow, is. 8d. ; and every fellow being in commons without
a chamber, every utter barrister, is. 6d, and every other fellow
under the bar, 12d.
" It is likewise ordered that Dr. Griffith, lecturer of the Temple,
shall be allowed from this society i2/i. ms. per quarter," and for the
raising of which, every bencher shall pay 2S. per term ; every utter
barrister who has a chamber or shall be in commons, is. 6d. ; and
every other fellow who has a chamber or shall be in commons, is.

table to supply the exercise and government of the House, who suffer
great inconvenience and discouragement for want of bench chambers,

ordered and enacted, etc., that the head butler of this House do
forthwith give notice to all serjeants at law, formerly of this Society,
who do still keep the possession of any chambers or lodgings therein,
which they formerly held as bench chambers, that they quit possession
of the same before the end of this present term. And that if they
shall neglect so to do by the space of fourteen days after the end of

of the same for the use of this society, or such masters of the bench
who are by act of parliament of this House admitted thereto respectively,
by setting new locks upon the doors of the same."

MISCELLANEA.
1664, June 18. Orders made by the Lord High Chancellor of
England and all the Judges of both benches and barons of the Exchequer,
by command of the King, signified by the Lord Chancellor
for the government of the Inns of Court and Chancery.
" First, That the Inns of Chancery shall hold their government
subordinate to the benchers of every the Inns of Court unto which
they belong, and that the benchers of every Inn of Court make orders
for governing them, as to keeping commons and attending and performing
exercise, according to former usage. And in case any
attorney, clerk, or any officer of any court of Justice, being of any of
the Inns of Chancery, shall withstand the direction given by the
benchers of Court, upon complaint thereof to the Judges of the
Court in which he shall serve, he shall be severely punished, either
by 'forejudging' from the Court, or otherwise as the case shall deserve.
" Secondly, That the benchers of every Inn of Court cause the
Inns of Chancery to be surveyed that there may be a competent
number of chambers for students, and that once a year an exact survey
be taken that the chambers allotted for that purpose be accordingly
employed."
Thirdly, as to the lodging and harbouring of dangerous persons.
This is in the same words as the first of the like rules made in 1614
(see Inner Temple Records, vol. ii., p. 83).
Fourthly, as to good government in matters of religion. In the
same terms as the second of the rules above referred to.
Fifthly, as to the society being ordained chiefly for the profession
of the law. In the same terms as the third of the above mentioned
rules.
" Sixthly, In that there ought always to be observed a difference
between utter barristers, readers in Court, apprentices at law, which
are the principal persons next to the sergeants at law and judges in
administration of justice, and attorneys and solicitors, which are but
ministerial persons of an inferior nature, and therefore it is ordered
that from henceforth no common attorney or solicitor shall hereafter
be admitted of any of the four Houses of Court."

166 4] INNER TEMPLE RECORDS.
31
Seventhly, as to the maintaining of readings. In the same
terms as the sixth of the rules before referred to.
" Eighthly, That none be admitted to the bar but only such as be
at least of seven years' continuance and have kept his exercise within
the House and abroad in Inns of Chancery, and have been frequently
in commons according to the orders of the House. And none be
called to the bar by readers but by the bench at parliaments, councils,
and pensions, and that, when they shall find a number of fit and
learned students and of honest conversation and well deserving the
same."
" Ninthly, That the benchers hereafter be chosen for their learning,
for their only keeping the exercises of their House, for their
honest behaviour and good dispositions and such as for their experience
and practice be of best note and ability to serve the kingdom.
And if any refuse to read then they are to undergo such fine and
censure as the benchers or readers shall think fit to lay on them,
which, if they shall refuse to pay or perform, then upon complaint to
the judges, such course shall be taken by them as shall enforce them
to the performance thereof."
Tenthly, as to decency in apparel. In the same terms as the
ninth of the rules before referred to.
Eleventhly, as to reverence and respect. In the same terms as
the last of the above rules.
" Twelfthly, It is ordered that readings in the Inns of Court begin
at the usual time and continue until Friday in the second week next
after their commencement inclusive, as hath been heretofore used.
And for the prevention of disorders, that the readers take care that
no person be permitted to drink in their cellars, and that there be no
expense of wine in the House but publicly in hall at meals."
" Thirteenthly, For that readings are grown so excessive a charge
that many of eminent abilities for learning have been disccuraged
from undertaking the same, and some which did, have been much disabled
thereby in their estates to the injury of them and their families,
it is ordered that no reader have above twelve attendants in liveries
nor expend above 300/i. in the whole charge of his readings, except
such as are of the King's, Queen's or Prince's Counsel, or such others
as have liberty to come within the bar or the recorder of the City of
London for the time being."

32 A CALENDAR OF THE [16 64
" Fourteenthly, For the better supporting and carrying on of readings,
it is ordered that such benchers, barristers, and other gentlemen
of the several societies attend at the readings for arguing the reader's
cases and performing other exercises and services, both within the
societies and at the Inns of Chancery, as hath been used by the
ancient orders of the respective Inns of Court. And that the benchers
consider of and impose fitting penalties to enjoin the due observance
thereof."
" Fifteenthly, It is ordered that readers at Inns of Chancery be
chosen and continue, and readings and all other exercises be duly
performed there, according to the former usages of the respective
Inns of Court and Chancery.
" Sixteenthly, For prevention of unnecessary expense lately
crept into the Inns of Court and of disorders thereby occasioned, it is
ordered that no gentleman of any Inns of Court, being either called
to the bar or at or under the bar, who shall bring in any bar or other
moot, shall give any entertainment with wine or otherwise to the
gentlemen of the society or others, either within or out of the House,
upon penalty that the gentleman that breaks this order shall pay iou.
to the society, and that such moot shall not be taken to be an exercise,
but here to remain in the same (and no better) condition than as
if the moot had not been performed at all.
" Seventeenthly, For that it is found by experience that by the
neglect of commons in the vacations the gentlemen of the Inns of
Court are often drawn to frequent ordinaries, gaming-houses, and
other places of disorder, whereby the neglect of their studies, if not
the corruption of their manners, is occasioned, it is ordered that the
benchers of every Inn of Court take care that commons be constantly
kept as well all the vacations as in the term time, except as is hereinafter
mentioned, and that the barristers and other gentlemen of the
societies do keep or be cast into commons, according to the ancient
orders of the respective societies. And for the prevention of dishonour
to the societies by the great disorders and mischief which
happen by gaming and other licentious courses lately used in the
time of Christmas, no commons shall be kept in any Inns of Court in
the time of Christmas or in one week before or after. And if this
order shall not be observed or if any shall presume to break open
the hall, kitchen, or cellar doors in any Inns of Court or attempt the

1664] INNER TEMPLE RECORDS.
same, for the keeping of Christmas commons, that complaint be made
thereof to the Lord Chief Justices or any other the Judges which
shall be then in town who will take a speedy and . . . course for the
suppressing and punishment thereof."
And lastly, for that the keeping up of constant exercises is the
chiefest means of inciting gentlemen to diligence in their studies,
and of attaining a sufficient ability in the profession of the law, it is
ordered that the benchers of the several Inns of Court take especial
care that exercises be regularly performed as well in the vacation as
in the terms, according to the orders of the respective Houses, and
for the better support thereof in the vacations, that barristers and
gentlemen under the bar be strictly enjoined by the benchers of
every Inn of Court, to keep their vacations according to the ancient
customs of the respective Houses.

The love of your society towards this work I do and shall always
thankfully acknowledge, which gave me the last spring one hundred

46 A CALENDAR OF THE [1667
inns of court, the readers were not exposed to such excessive charges
and expenses in feastings and entertainments as in these later times,
wherein by reason of the late excesses in that kind, divers of this
society, sufficient for their learning, have been and yet are very much
discouraged from undertaking the said laudable exercise of reading,
and whereas also of late years several gentlemen of this society, not
content with the allowances of wine made unto them by the readers
at public meals in the hall, have used to press into the reader's cellar
and many times to carry strangers with them thither, there to entertain
themselves and their friends, not without some disorder oftentimes
happening to the gravity and good government of this society.
For the better regulation therefore of such charges and the prevention
of the like discouragements, irregularities, and inconveniences
for the future, be it enacted and it is hereby enacted by this present
parliament, that no reader of this society shall or may from henceforth
have more than six servants in liveries to attend upon him
during his reading without the licence and approbation of the
treasurer and benchers of this society, or the major part of them for

Prince's counsel, the recorder of London, and such who are allowed
to practise within bar, only excepted), and that no reader, without
licence as aforesaid, during his said reading shall or may come at
night into the hall or be at any expense there for exceedings or otherwise
at suppers, or make any feasts or entertainments to strangers
upon reading days. And that the said readers may be at liberty to
take their own time for breaking their statute at the laver, so as the
same be done without prejudice to the said exercise. And lastly that
the gentlemen of this society shall be content with the reader's allowance
of wine in the public hall at meals, without pressing or entering
at any time hereafter themselves or carrying any strangers into the
cellar appointed for the reader's stores."

MISCELLANEA.
1668-1669. Numerous depositions and other papers as to

66 A CALENDAR OF THE 11669
pulling down the sword of the Lord Mayor of London, and insulting
him by gentlemen of the Inner Temple, on 3 March, 1668-9.
The depositions are to the effect that on the arrival of the Lord
Mayor and several of the aldermen to dine with the reader of the
Inner Temple, they were compelled to retire from the tumult in the
inn to Auditor Phillips' chamber. While there Sir John Nicholas
came with a message from the King, and the Lord Mayor sent for
the reader and some of the benchers to hear the King's message,
when one of the fellows, by name Hodges (son of Mr. Hodges, late
an Alderman of London), declared they would maintain the privileges
of the House, and addressed the Lord Mayor as Mr. Mayor, and
used him " slightly."
1668-9, March 2 1 . Order for the attendance before the King
in Council, of the recorder of London, and two or more of the
aldermen, and of Hodges, Morgan, Pettus, Jeffries, Litleton, Shan,
Wyn, and Bates, gentlemen of the Inner Temple.
1668-9, March 23. Letter from Thomas Wroth to William
Petyt stating that " on Wednesday the 3rd current Mr. Reader, having
a messenger sent him from the Lord Mayor (who had previous intelligence
of the gentlemen's intentions) to acquaint him, that unless he
might come as Lord Mayor he should not expect him. Being studious
how to demean himself in so ticklish a case, he was advised to send
some of the bar civilly to inform his Lordship of the students' fixed
purpose to make claim that this society was privilegiatus and extra
jurisdictionern of the city. Mr. Reader approved of Mr. George
Jeffries and myself. Accordingly we went to Guildhall, where, finding
the Lord Mayor and Court of Aldermen sitting (a stately object for
a curious eye), Mr. Jeffries brake the ice, and after a complimental
salute with the presentation of Mr. Reader's respects to his Lordship
and the rest of his brethren, told him that Mr. Reader (understanding
his Lordship did defer doing him and this House the honour as to
dine with him upon the account of the dispute might arise about
bearing up his sword) had sent us to advertise his Lordship that the
gentlemen (being at present persuaded by former precedents his
Lordship ought not to carry his sword erect within the boundaries of
the society) were resolved to stand upon their privileges, but hoped
his Lordship would not deny them that right, but grant them what
justice his predecessors had done. Upon this we were desired to

1669] INNER TEMPLE RECORDS. 67
withdraw (a motion I must acknowledge I thought improper, to say
no more, to be made to persons who came to them upon such a
message, but being somewhat to seek in City formalities we accordingly
retired). After some short discourse amongst the cabal we
were re-ushered in towards an answer, which amounted to this effect,
viz. : That his Lordship took it as an high affront we should come so
to accost him. Thereupon Mr. J effries replied that if he had any
ways so expressed himself as that the manner savoured of disrespect
towards his Lordship it was beyond his intentions and he was misunderstood,
wherefore he craved leave to explain himself. Upon
that he spake some words whose direct sense I cannot on the sudden
recover, but as I then apprehended they sounded in nature of an
apology. I seconded them with this caveat, by request that his
Lordship would not let our actings reflect upon our particular persons
since we came not on the students' but Mr. Reader's account. Mr.
Jeffries added that both Mr. Reader and the whole House had so
great a regard for the Lord Mayor of London, and especially towards
his Lordship's peculiar person, that we came in testimony of that
respect to acquaint his Lordship with the gentlemen's design, that he
might not be surprised, and that if his Lordship would please to
waive the debate and so far to comply with the gentlemen's humours
as to dispense with that point of state, his Lordship should find all
imaginable civility of treatment as large as any his predecessors had.
Leaving them again to their consultations, some minutes being passed,
we received this answer by the city mouth :—That his Lordship
would not compound with hot-headed young men, and that he would
not come at all. Whereupon we desired some of his brethren's
presence ; he told us it was an improper proposal, and they unanimously
cried out one and all, perceiving his Lordship's backwardness.
Mr. Jeffries told him that the society would take it as a great favour
to enjoy his and his brethren's company and they were so sensible of
the honour they should receive thereby as that possibly (which if I
mistake not in a little time changed note into doubtless) Mr. Reader
might so far prevail with the gentlemen as to persuade them not to
desire or expect anything of reverting his Lordship's sword. This
caused the last private debate which brought forth this vote, spoken
by his Lordship himself : I bear the K ing's sword, London is my
jurisdiction, and I shall bear it up throughout the City, I take the

68 A CALENDAR OF THE [1669
Temple to be part thereof where my predecessors have borne it up,
and that of late memory since the King's restoration. Hereupon I
desired favour to interrupt his Lordship and offer as a particular
instance to the contrary that the sword was turned down when his
Lordship's brother, Mr. Turner, was reader of the Middle House.
Sir John Lawrence stood up and told his Lordship that at that time
he had the honour from the King to be entrusted with the sword
now committed to his Lordship, and assured him there was no such
thing, but he bore it upright all the way, his Lordship (if I mistake
not) confirmed the same by his own knowledge. I turned my speech
to one of the aldermen near me, and in a lower voice told him that I
might mistake the precise example, but the thing was lately done I
was very confident." The Lord Mayor insinuated somewhat derogatory
to the Reader's candour and hospitality, and being the King's
representative when we spoke to him we spoke to the King, and
therefore we ought to use sober expressions. The Lord Mayor's
final resolution was, " My service to your Reader, etc., and tell him I
will come and dine with him, I will bear up my sword and see who
dares take it down." I gave his Lordship many thanks and our
errand was done.
1668-9, March 24. Order for the attendance before the council
of H odges.
1668-9, March. Numerous informations and depositions touching
this matter whereby it appears that the Lord Mayor and aldermen
were forced on arrival to retire into Auditor Phillips' chamber by
reason of the opposition of the students to the sword being held
upright. The Lord Mayor determined to return home, and upon
entering the cloister the students would not permit him to go peaceably,
but cried, " Down with the sword !" so that he was compelled
to return to Mr. Phillips' chamber, where he was followed by the
students shouting and crying, "A Hall! a Hall!" There are also depositions
as to an alleged assault upon the City Marshal's man.
1669, April 7. Order at the council, after reading affidavits
against Hodges, Wyn, and Mundy, the three principal actors in the
disorders, that the declaration of the King's pleasure touching the
matter be suspended till the rights and privileges of the Temple had
been tried before the courts.

Huntingdon, Robert, Earl of Ailesbury, Thomas, Viscount Fauconberg,
and Charles West, son of Lord Delawarr, are confirmed.
The petition of the treasurer and fellows of Lyon's Inn, setting
out that the said society (being a very ancient society) for many
years last past has been and still is much straitened, not only in buildings
and chambers to entertain the fellows, but also in ground
whereon to build, for supply whereof the petitioners' predecessors,
being owners of five tenements belonging to Lyon's Inn, were
pleased by an act of their parliament made in 35 Elizabeth, to unite
to their ancient House, two of the said five tenements, which were
shortly after taken in and built upon for the enlargement of their
House and the three other tenements were afterwards purchased
by the petitioners' predecessors, the conveyance thereof being taken
to feoffees in trust for the benefit of the society. And the ancient
chambers of the House (being very bad and inconvenient, either for
students or practisers) many of the fellows are necessitated to take
lodgings abroad, whereby they keep themselves out of commons,
and the public exercises of the House are not attended as they ought
to be.
For the remedy whereof the treasurer and ancients of the said
society have resolved on a course for new buildings within the confines
of the ancient House, which, as by a " platform " thereof

76 A CALENDAR OF THE [1671
showed to a committee of the bench, will extend to the street on
both sides, and now only inclosed with dead walls, but not having a
stock for building they are enforced to set out the ground for a term
to some members of the society, that will undertake the building if
they may have liberty to convert the ground rooms towards each
street into shops, which after the end of such term will turn to the
sole benefit of the society. And although the whole building
intended is to be on the ancient ground of the House, whereon the
petitioners humbly conceive they may build for chambers, yet in
regard of the converting of the ground rooms towards the street into
shops, they think it a duty not to proceed to any such contract for
building without application for the concurrence of the benchers of
the Inner Temple therein.
Upon consideration of their said petition, and reference to the
plot or map tendered by them, whereby the place appears to be at
the east end of the ground of the same House, and to be built on
from north to south, it is ordered that they may make three such
rooms into shops northward and as many southward for twenty-one
years, so that there be no doors nor passage from such shops into the
House of Lyon's Inn. And the said plot to be kept amongst the
records of the Inner Temple.
Order that Charles Holloway, Hampson, and Richard Holloway
be a committee to confer with the masters of the bench of the Middle
Temple, concerning the building of one Smith upon the walls of the
house of Dr. Ball, to the weakening and endangering of his dwelling
and stopping up of his lights.
Letter from the Earl of Essex to Sir Heneage Finch :—" Sir,
the term now drawing on and consequently the meeting of the parliament
of the Inner Temple, I presume to remind you and the rest of
the worthy gentlemen who are the benchers of that society, of my
last request and your very kind promises, and desire that you will at
your next meeting, direct the opening the gate into Whitefriars.
And whereas you were apprehensive that myself, or such as shall
claim under me, may pretend as of right to a gate there, I do hereby
declare that I do neither pretend to it nor desire it as a right, but as
a favour from the House, and shall ever be ready to acknowledge it
as such."
Order upon the above letter that the passage between the new

opened, and that such door or doors be fitted with locks, and be

refuge from justice, to the dishonour of this society and reproach to
the discipline thereof." It is therefore declared that this society will
use all possible care and diligence for the discovering of the same
offenders and for bringing them to condign punishment, and it is
commanded to every officer and servant to make strict inquiry for
the same offenders, and as soon as they shall discover their names to
give information thereof to the attorney-general, treasurer of the
society, that they may be proceeded against. And if any fellow shall
assault any watchman of the city of London or disturb or resist them
in doing their duty, such fellow shall be ipso facto expelled. That
the gates of the House shall be every night fast locked and bolted
before eleven o'clock and in no case opened again before four o'clock
next morning. And if any fellow attempt to force open the gates of
this House or assault, menace, or abuse any servant for doing his
duty in keeping the gates fast, such fellow shall be ipso facto expelled.

the same the several rents heretofore due from the society of Lyon's
Inn or their trustees to this society or the trustees of the same.

looked into Hare Court, of about 4 ft. in breadth and 6 ft. in length,
stands out beyond the rest of his building, yet ranges with the
adjoining messuage, he cannot however make his work uniform unless
that which stands out be carried up of an equal height with the rest,
he therefore prays that he may be permitted to carry his house up
of an equal height, two stories above his ground room. Which
petition was referred to Robinson, an associate of the bench, Powell,
and West, two of the masters of the bench, who reported that the
south side of Farr's dwelling adjoined the north end of Hare Court
towards the chamber of John Turbervill, and that out of the ground
room of the back part of the said dwelling house, towards the west
end thereof, there was a small jetty into Hare Court, one story in
height, etc. Whereupon licence was granted to the said James Farr
to carry up the said jetty of the length of 7 ft. 10 in. and the breadth
of 3 ft. 5 in. two stories high above the ground room. To hold for

in the church which want speedy repair.
" First, the doors in the screen, which parts the church, are at
this time so much decayed and broken as they are no security to the
church, wherein now standeth the chest with your communion plate
and also the several vestments and books belonging to the church.
" Second, the pulpit is so rotten at this time and decayed as it is
in great danger of falling ; also the velvet before the pulpit and the
cushion thereto belonging, are both so much decayed and worn out,
having been so often mended, as much longer they cannot be serviceable.
" Third, there is at this time great want of a good bell in the
steeple, which want may be soon supplied if your masterships shall
please to give order that those two bells now in the steeple, which
are both cracked and useless, be cast into one ; it will make an
excellent bell that will be heard into all courts belonging to both
societies.
" Fourth, the two surplices at this time belonging to the church
are both worn out, one of which is allowed by the honourable society."

HI. Q

ii6 A CALENDAR OF THE [1677
Mr. Graham, the two competitors for the office of principal, and
divers other members of Clifford's Inn, of their several parties, likewise
attending, were called in and examined whether they had pursued
the due methods of making complaints of this nature, which
the judges declared ought to be made in this manner, viz., first to
the benchers of the Inns of Court, to which they belong, to whose
government the government of the Inns of Chancery is and ought
to be subordinate, and if any of the Inns of Chancery shall find
themselves aggrieved by the determination of the said benchers,
they may appeal to his Majesty's judges that were of that Inn of
Court, who may examine, and, if they see cause, correct such determination.
And if any shall think fit to appeal from the determination
of the said judges, they may apply themselves to all the judges,
who, upon any general meeting, may take order therein. And in
this particular case it appearing that applications had been first made
to the benchers of the Inner Temple, and after to the judges of that
society, but some questions arising about the formalities of the said
appeals, it was proposed as an expedient that setting aside all former
decisions and proposals, the judges would appoint a day for the
hearing of all parties concerning the right and manner of election,
and determine the same, to which there appears a general concurrence.
And Mr. Powell and Mr. Hampson did on the behalf of
the Inner Temple assent, and Mr. Sommers and Mr. Graham likewise
and the rest of the society of Clifford's Inn then present, whereupon
the judges did appoint Monday next at nine of the clock in
the morning in this place to hear all parties concerned in this matter,
and thereupon to take such order as to them shall seem just. At
which time and place, the said justices being again assembled, the
treasurer and several of the benchers of the Inner Temple and the
contesting parties of Clifford's Inn attending were called in, and
after a full hearing of what would be alleged on either side, it clearly
appeared to the said judges that by the ancient constitutions of the
society of Clifford's Inn, upon any vacancy of the office of principal
there ought to be three persons proposed by the rules to the commons
of the House for their election ; and that the commons had
not liberty to choose any other person to be principal but one of the
three so proposed, but the said justices declared that it is agreeable
to reason and justice that every one of the persons, so to be pro-

1677] INNER TEMPLE RECORDS. 117
posed, be a person well qualified for the office. And if the rules
propose persons unfit, it may be just cause of complaint, which being
alleged to be the present case and the chief ground of the complaint
to the benchers of the Inner Temple, whereupon the benchers had
thought fit to change the nomination in order to a new election.
The judges, to avoid personal reflections, which would increase the
opposition of parties, declined the examination of that matter, and
because victory on either side would occasion burnings and reproaches,
they proposed divers expedients for a new election of a
principal to continue for three years, wherein the present competitors
should be wholly waived. But difficulties appearing therein, it was
at last unanimously agreed by all parties that if the judges there
present would be pleased to take the trouble to nominate any of the
rules of that society to be principal, they would willingly submit that
such person should be principal for three years.
Which being accepted by the judges, and the names of all the
rules being presented to them, the said judges did unanimously concur
in the nomination of Mr. Ingram to be the principal of their society
for the term of three years from the death of Mr. Attwood.
After which it was represented to the judges that in the society
the rules are arbitrarily chosen without regard to antiquity, and it
was answered that the society being divided into parties by this
difference, the party which had at this present the major vote among
the rules would overpower the rest in the choice of new rules wholly
out of their own party, so that the others which were the major part
of the society, although the major part of the present rules might be
oppressed, and that the power of the principal was swelled so much
by the influence he had upon the rules, that he is now allowed
eighteen chambers for his own use, when other members of the
society want the chambers, and that there ought to be yearly
accounts given up, but no account had been given these many years
past, which inconveniences are the occasions that the commons of
the society have so earnestly desired a principal of their good liking
that matters may not be carried so for the future.
Whereupon the judges declared that the occasion of their
meeting was concerning the election of a principal, which being now
over, they thought it not proper to take any order on other matters,
nevertheless they did intimate that upon the choice of a rule those

118 A CALENDAR OF THE [1677
which were most ancient in the society ought not without reason to
be pretermitted, but upon that or any other abuse of government
there might be complaint to the benchers of the Inner Temple, who
are to regulate the same and until they have been applied unto, the
judges will not meddle therein."

Wyott, and H enry Selby, esquires, seven of the masters of the bench

followeth :—That the standing sub-treasurer that shall be agreed
upon by this society shall receive all the rents, revenues, and casual
profits of this society arising from all matters concerning the same,
except the steward's rolls for commons, and dispose thereof by order
of the treasurer of this society for the time being, under his hands,
and not otherwise unless it be by the particular order of the bench
table whilst they are in commons ; that the said sub-treasurer shall
every first week in every term give to the treasurer an account of
what moneys he hath received in the precedent vacation, and before
the end of the last week of the term, what he hath received in that
term ; that at the beginning of every term, in the first week, he shall
give an account to the table of all persons in the society who are in
arrear of any duties to the same, and refused to pay; that of all such
accounts given, the chief butler shall make three rolls every Michaelmas
and Easter term, to be delivered, one to the treasurer, one to
the sub-treasurer, and one to the head butler ; that no works shall be
done by any workman employed in this society, or goods bought for
their use but by order of the table or treasurer in term time, or of
the treasurer in the vacation, or the senior bencher resident in his
absence, to the contracts whereof the sub-treasurer shall be always
privy and give an account to the treasurer of the due performance
thereof.
" That he shall give good security, such as the table shall approve
of, for due performance of his duty, and true discharge of his account
with three sureties to the value of two thousand pounds. That he shall
have allowed to him for all the said moneys received by him for
the use of the society, twelve pence in the pound. That every one
admitted into this society by certificate from any Inn of Chancery
shall pay to the under treasurer, for his own use, twenty shillings,
besides the usual admittance to the treasurer of the House. That he
have a convenient chamber allowed him during the execution of his
said office, without being liable to be cast into commons for the same
or other duties. That he be allowed out of the treasury every term
during the execution of his said office the sum of five pounds.
That
the person to be admitted into the said office be Mr. Anthony Belbm,
a member of this society. Which said report of the committee being

1682] INNER TEMPLE RECORDS. T77
read at this parliament, it is ordered and enacted that the said Mr.
Anthony Belbin be settled, constituted, and appointed sub-treasurer
thereof, upon the said terms and conditions in the report of the committee
above mentioned, specified.
" Whereas an act for an aid roll hath lately passed in the parliament
of this society for the rating the several members thereof, in
relation to their several degrees, towards the repairs of the Temple
Church and the new building the pews of the same, being much in
decay (according to ancient precedents of acts of parliament of this
House),the charge thereof being computed by Sir Christopher Wrenn,
his Majesty's surveyor general, and divers workmen, will amount
unto at least the sum of fourteen hundred pounds, to be borne proportionably
by the two societies of the Inner and the Middle Temple.
And whereas by the great debts of divers gentlemen of this society
in the payment of their respective dues upon the said aid roll so
rated, this good work is like to be much retarded, if not totally laid
aside, unless moneys from time to time be disbursed as the occasion
of so great work shall and will require." And whereas the present
treasurer, at the request of the society, is pleased to lay down and
expend as occasion shall require such money for completing the said
work, although at present very inconsiderable sums on the said aid
rolls are received by him, it is therefore ordered that the said
treasurer, his heirs, executors, and administrators are and shall be
saved harmless and indemnified for any contract he shall make relating
to the said church or workmen.

to the bar, not having full time, and some of them not having done
or performed any of the exercise of this House, and others very little,
whereby the learning of this House is much decayed, and such persons,
when called, very unable to perform the subsequent exercise of
this House incumbent on them as vacation barristers, contrary to the
ancient customs and orders of this House ; to prevent the same for

following, meet as a committee and were all of opinion, as followeth :
" That no member of this society shall be presented to the table
for to be called to the bar before he be full seven years standing and

were suspended commons for some outrageous misdemeanours committed
by them in the late Christmas commons, which order of suspension
by command of the bench was fairly written in the buttery
book of this House by the chief butler in the presence of the masters
of the bench according to custom. And whereas it appears that the
said persons or others by their appointment obliterated and crossed

188 A CALENDAR OF THE [1683

House. Whereupon by another order of the bench table of 3 February,
it was further ordered that the said book of commons should
be again brought up to the bench table and the said order of suspension
again entered and written by the chief butler upon the same
leaf where it formerly was written, upon the upper part thereof, and
for the prevention of the like miscarriage for the future, it was
ordered that the butlers do constantly keep the said inner buttery
locked, according to the ancient orders of this House, and shall not
permit any fellows to enter the said rooms to eat their commons or
make any stay but only the masters of the bench, and such as are
appointed to take the accounts.
Whereas John Champion and Heath Edwards, members under
the bar, were with others lately summoned to attend the bench table
to give an account of their late riotous and outrageous proceedings,
in keeping the hall and other offices of this society against the present
government of this House, " and hallooing and shouting with
their guards and other rabble of people at the treasurer, the attorney
general, and solicitor general, being the then masters of the bench
that were in town, who came into the hall on the essoign day of this
term after dinner, and did demand the possession of the said hall,
library, buttery, and kitchen, for the use of the said society, and to
disperse the tumultuous assembly, but were in a most insolent manner
denied the possession thereof by them ; and they did accordingly
keep possession thereof, and gathered up new guards of mean persons
to their assistance (about fourteen of their then guards leaving them),
who continued gaming in the said hall until seven of the clock the
next morning, being Sunday, and then prepared for a ball on the
same day in the said hall, the which they kept locked with the other
offices and places till twelve of the clock on the said Sunday, until
the lord chief justice Pemberton, then chief justice of England, did
come down in person, accompanied with the said masters of the
bench and divers barristers of this society, and demanded entrance
thereinto, they having not yielded obedience to his warrant the day
before ; and also causing money to be raised (being attended with
armed men, their guards) on the respective members of this House
against all ancient usage and custom and against their wills, extorting
the same from them on pretence that some of the masters of the

1683] INNER TEMPLE RECORDS. 189
bench had paid ; and imprisoning several servants of this society for
yielding obedience to the commands of the said masters of the bench
of this society in leaving the said hall and attending on the said
benchers. Upon which summons, when they appeared they were so
far from acknowledging of the said offences that they justified their
proceedings in a most insolent manner, and thereby aggravated their
offences. Whereupon the bench taking the same into consideration,
and that which never was paralleled in this House, did at that time
suspend them, with some others guilty of the same offence, from the
commons of this House, but finding the said persons still persisting
to affront the government of this House and for preventing the like
insolencies for the future," do hereby order and declare that the said
Champion and Edwards be absolutely expelled and no longer reputed
members.

called an associate to the bench.
Whereas the gentlemen who were lately called to the bar and
had no chambers at the time of their call, but entered into bonds to
buy the same within a year, have greatly neglected the same, that in
the two last calls, wherein there were twenty seven called not having
chambers, two only have bought chambers, many of them so soon as

1683] INNER TEMPLE RECORDS. 201
they are called immediately leave the society and seldom appear
again, not regarding the performance of the condition of their bonds,
nor keeping their vacations, nor doing any exercise as they ought to
do, which is the great cause that there has been of late such failure
of exercise on the bar side, to the dishonour of this society, it is
therefore ordered that no member shall be called to the bar without
he has actually a chamber in this House or lays down 20/2. as a
caution to buy the same within two years, and in case of default the
2011. to be forfeited. And such as have forfeited their bonds, do,
before the first parliament in next term, pay to the treasurer 20/1.
each, to be forfeited in case they do not purchase chambers within a

staircase have desired leave to build their chambers, it is ordered
they may do so at their own cost, three pair of stairs high and no
more, besides the ground chambers and cellars, with power to nominate

Holloway, Edwards, Farrington, Selby, and Courtney shall be a
standing committee to settle all differences touching the building.

" The petition of Renatus Harris, organ maker, being this day
read at the table, setting forth that your petitioner and Mr. Smith
having originally stood in competition about the organ intended for
the Temple Church, the said Mr. Smith did himself request the then
treasurers of both Houses that he and your petitioner might work by
fortnights alternatively, which being agreed by your petitioner, the said
Mr. Smith did then make choice of the first fortnight and concluded
your petitioner should end with the last, which method being so
agreed upon, both the treasurers did accordingly order that the same
should be exactly performed, and that neither the said Mr. Smith
nor your petitioner should interfere in each others' time. That
several times after your petitioner's intended last fortnight, the said
Mr. Smith hath began again to work anew and never yet would
declare to abide by any day to be concluded, although your petitioner
hath not for four months together in the last term and vacation made

224 A CALENDAR OF THE [16s5
use of any one day of his fortnight, but left the said Mr. Smith in
possession of the church for all that time in hopes that he would have
finished and appointed a day to have judgment given, till performance
of which the said competition will never be ended.
" Your petitioner doth humbly request that Mr. Smith be sent
to know if he have done, and in case he require more time he may
now take it and make use of this week to make an end of the fortnight
he hath began, if he require it, and that thereupon he may
limit himself to a day, and your petitioner will do the like so many
days after the said Mr. Smith hath had more than your petitioner,
otherwise in case Mr. Smith will abide by his organ now, your petitioner
desires next week to be appointed for trial, or if he will make
use of this week that such trial be appointed to be on the i5th, i6th,
17th, or i8th of next month. And your petitioner further prays that
the persons to be appointed to give judgment upon the organs may
be such as are most skilful in music and not members of either
societies, to prevent any imputations of partiality. And that both
workmen take a voluntary oath that neither, directly nor indirectly,
they have given or promised or will give or promise any reward
whatsoever to gain favour in behalf of his instrument to or with any
of the persons, who shall be or are in election, to be appointed
judges for the same. And because Mr. Smith do sometimes insist
that he was employed by both Houses, that before any trial be made
Mr. Smith shall relinquish any contract or promise, and that an order
may be made wherein both societies may stand by the determination
of the judges in the choice of the organ."
Whereupon it is ordered that Holloway, Edwards, Johnson,
Courtney, Bowyer, and Purley, or any three of them, be a committee
to meet a like number of the Middle Temple to determine about the
said organ and to nominate judges. They are also to take a note
from each organ maker of their prices and the number of stops and
pipes in each organ."

and others.
Communication from the Middle Temple reciting an order
made at their parliament on 2 June, 1685, as follows :—" The masters
of the bench at this parliament, taking into their considerations the
tedious competition between the two organ makers, about their fitting
an organ to the Temple Church, and having in several terms and at
several times compared both organs now standing in the said church,
as they have played several Sundays, one after the other, and as
they have lately played the same Sunday together, alternatively, at
the same service, now at the suit of several masters of the bar and
students of this society, pressing to have a speedy determination of
the said controversy, and in justice to the said workmen, as well as
for the freeing themselves from any complaints concerning the same,
do unanimously in full parliament resolve and declare the organ in
the said church, made by Bernard Smith, to be, in their judgment,
both for sweetness and fulness of sound (besides the extraordinary
stops, quarter notes, and other rarities therein), beyond comparison
preferable before the other of the said organs made by Renatus
Harris, and that the same is more ornamental and substantial, and
both for depth of sound and strength, fitter for the use of the said
church, and therefore upon account of the excellency and perfection
of the said organ made by Smith, and for that he was the workman
first treated with and employed by the treasurers of both societies for
G G

226 A CALENDAR OF THE [1685
providing his organ, and for that the organ made by the said Harris is
discernably too low and too weak for the said church, their masterships
see not any cause of further delay or need of any reference to musicians
or others to determine the differences, but do, for their parts, unanimously
make choice of the said organ made by Smith for the use of
these societies, and Mr. Treasurer is desired to acquaint the treasurer
and masters of the bench of the Inner Temple with this declaration of
their judgments, with all respect desiring their concurrence herein."
" Upon due consideration whereof had, their masterships do
unanimously declare that they conceive themselves to be not well
used therein, that a resolution and determination should be made in
a matter which equally concerns both Houses without a conference
first had with their masterships, and that the same directly tends to
a breach of mutual correspondence which ought to be maintained and
preserved between both societies ; that it is high time, and appears
to be absolutely necessary that impartial judges (and such as are the
best masters of music) be forthwith nominated by both Houses to
determine the controversy between the two organ makers, whose
instrument is the best, which this society are ready to do, and desire
their masterships of the Middle Temple to join with them therein in
order to the speedy putting an end to so troublesome a difference."
Holloway, Edwards, Johnson, Bowyer, and Purley empowered
to enter into a treaty with a like number of the masters of the bench
of the Middle Temple in order to settle the affair speedily.
BENCH TABLE held on 24 June, 1685.
" A paper sent from the Middle Temple in answer to an order
of the bench table of this society, made the 22nd instant, being this
day read, zit sequilur :
" Middle Temple :—Bench table, June 23, 1685. In answer to
the paper sent from the bench table of the Inner Temple, the 22nd
instant, the masters of the bench of the Middle Temple now in
commons say,
" 1. That they cannot imagine how the masters of the Inner
Temple can pretend any ill usage or disrespect offered towards them,
either tending to a breach of correspondence or common civility, by

16851 INNER TEMPLE RECORDS. 227
the act of parliament of the Middle Temple of the second of this
instant June, for that the masters of the Middle Temple thereby
only, on their parts, (with the concurrence of the barristers and
students) declare their judgments and choice of Smith's organ, not
imposing but requesting, the concurrence of the Inner Temple
therein with all respect.
" 2. As to the matter of having the two organs referred to the
judgment of impartial musicians, there yet appears not any difference
between the two societies concerning the same, the masters of the
bench of the Inner Temple having not as yet in Parliament declared
their judgments and choice of the other organ which if in their
judgments they shall think fit to do, whereby a difference shall
appear between the two societies, then their said masterships, now
in commons, believe the society of the Middle Temple will find some
other expedient for the determination of the said difference.
3. As to the price of the organs, Smith, the organ maker,
absolutely refuseth to set any price upon his organ, but offers to
submit the same to the judgment of the treasurers of both societies
or to such artists as they shall choose, which their masterships but think reasonable.
cannot
" 4. As to the numbering the organ pipes and stops, etc., their
masterships think it below them to trouble themselves therein, because
the proposal can have no other ground than a supposition of such fraud
in the artist as is inconsistent with the credit of his profession."
" Upon due consideration thereof had, their masterships do
unanimously declare themselves dissatisfied in the irregular proceedings
of the Middle Temple in this matter, and therefore firmly adhere
to their former resolution, viz. :—that there is no way to determine
the controversy between the two organ makers, but by choosing
impartial judges and such as are the best masters of music, and not
members of either society."

and disorder, to the great offence of Almighty God, the scandal and
dishonour of this society, the corrupting and debauching of divers
young gentlemen, members of the same, and unless timely prevented
may endanger the total subversion of the good government thereof;
and although great care hath been taken and divers good acts from
time to time made for regulating Christmas commons and redress of
such shameful disorders, yet they have always proved fruitless and
unsuccessful, and have not produced that good effect expected from
them. For the preventing therefore of so great mischiefs, inconveniences,
and farther growing evils of this nature in time to come,
it is upon full debate and consideration thereof had at this parliament,
enacted, that for the time of Christmas now next ensuing, no
commons shall be kept within this House, but the commons of this
House shall dissolve and break up on the Saturday preceding St.
Thomas' day next, and not begin again until the Saturday night next
ensuing the feast of the Epiphany, and in the mean time the keys and
possession of the hall, buttery, kitchen, and other rooms and places
of like public office for this House," shall be left with the treasurer.
And if any fellow shall, contrary to this act, presume or endeavour
to have commons kept during the time aforesaid, he shall ipso facto
be totally disabled from being called to the bar, and be subject to
such other punishment as the bench shall impose.

JUNE 29.-" Whereas it hath been found by experience of this

in the office of treasurer longer than for the space of one whole year,
and that a new treasurer shall be every year constituted and made
at the second parliament in Michaelmas term (except the next
immediate treasurer, who shall be constituted and made at the last
parliament to be held for this society in Michaelmas term next, and
not before). And be it further enacted that the said office of
treasurer shall be executed by all the benchers of this society that
have been or are liable to be readers, successively and in their turn,
according to their respective seniority at the bench, and that no
counsel of their present Majesties or their successors or any other
person whatsoever, shall hereafter be constituted or made treasurer
but according to their seniority in time at the bench of this society,

for the year next ensuing at the second parliament in Michaelmas
term.
" And for the encouragement of the treasurer of this society,
hereafter to be yearly constituted and made, as aforesaid, in the
careful attending and executing the said office, forasmuch as every

in the said office, except in the case of death or removal, as aforesaid.

treasurer of this society ought or shall pay or dispose of any sum of
money exceeding the sum of five pounds, without the order of the
table first had and made for that purpose, and that no surrender to

to the seniority and time of being called to the bench and not otherwise,
except in the case of their Majesty's attorneys and solicitors

choice of chambers by the masters of the bench hath always been and
ought to be according to their seniority and priority of sitting at the
bench table, beginning first with the treasurer and then the next to
him, and so downwards, and whereas it hath been observed that some
masters of the bench do from term to term absent themselves from
the bench table and do not give their due assistance in the debating
and ordering the affairs of the House and upholding the exercise
thereof, and yet nevertheless will come and be present at parliaments
held for this society and expect to vote and have their choice and
election of chambers there, according to such their seniority, equally
with those that are frequent in commons and do duly attend the
business and exercise of the House, by reason and means whereof
the business of the House hath been often neglectc.d and the exercise
failed, to the great prejudice and dishonour of this society."

MISCELLANEA.
1694-5, FEB. 7.—Letter from the treasurer and ancients of
Gray's Inn to Nicholas Courtney, treasurer of the Inner Temple, as
to William Clerke, who was lately made one of the King's counsel,
concerning whom there was a controversy with the bench of Gray's
Inn, then likely to come under judgment of Lord Chief Justice Holt
and other judges of that House. The treasurer and ancients desire
to be informed when the said Clerke, who was admitted to the
Inner Temple, was called to the bar and whether he had paid all
duties, etc.
With the letter is a memorandum dated 25 January, 1689-90, of
an appeal brought by John Fry, an ancient of Gray's Inn, before the
judges that had been members of that inn, suggesting that he had been
pretermitted in two calls to the bench, wherein several of his puisnes
had been called, and had thereupon petitioned in pension for his call,
and his petition rejected, so that he was only relievable before the
T T

32 2 A CALENDAR OF THE [1694-5
judges. Whereupon Lord Chief Justice Holt, Baron Nevill, Mr.
Justice Gregory, and Baron Turton, being assembled at the lord
chief justice's chamber in Serjeant's Inn in Chancery Lane, the
benchers insisted that it was an inherent right of the bench to judge
who were fitting to be called to the bench and who not. The
appellant read the orders of pension, and after long debate the
appellant insisted that cause should be assigned against his call, and
the benchers had refused to assign any cause, alleging they were
themselves the judges who were fitting to be called to the bench.
The lord chief justice declared " that the call to the bench was no
matter of right in any person but was in point of government only,
and that it was discretionary, and both persons and time ought to be
left to the judgment of the bench in whom the government of the
society resided ; and that unless the appellant had been called and
then disbenched, no cause need be assigned why the bench refused
the appellant. And then the rest of the judges seriatim delivered
their opinion to the like effect, and thereupon the said appeal was
dismissed and the benchers did absolutely refuse to call him, the said
appellant, to the bench."
FEB. 7.—Inner Temple. Reply by Nicholas Courtney, treajsurer,
to the above letter from the treasurer and ancients of Gray's Inn,
stating that William Clerke of Tymworth1 in the County of Southampton

society to say with what duties he stands charged.

Whereas the not frequenting of commons by the masters of the

and whereas Philip Pargiter, one of the masters of the bench, who
according to the present rules and orders of this House is next in
course to be elected treasurer, has been long absent and is not yet
come to town, and the time of such election drawing nigh, it is
necessary some provision be made in case the said Pargiter shall
not appear at the time of election ; and whereas John Hodges, one
of the masters of the bench, who is next in turn to be chosen
treasurer in case the said Pargiter does not appear, may not by
reason of some particular circumstances he lyeth under be capable
of constantly attending the duties of the said office, and yet nevertheless,
he having borne all the usual charges of the House to qualify
him for that office, it is thought just that he should have the benefit
of the said office for his year, if any bencher will undertake to

execute the said office for him gratis, which Anthony Bowyer, the
present treasurer, has, at the request of the table and in respect to
the said Hodges, consented to do. And whereas by act of parliament
of 29 June, 1691, it is enacted that no treasurer shall
continue in office longer than one year, by which it was intended
that no treasurer should so continue in his own right, and that no
treasurer should receive the profits of that office longer than one
year, it is enacted that in case the said Pargiter does not appear at
the next parliament, he shall have forfeited his right and turn of
being chosen treasurer, and it shall be lawful for the present treasurer
to be continued, so that the salary or payment of iooli., usually
allowed to the treasurer, shall be paid to Hodges as if he had personally
executed the office. And it is further enacted that no
bencher shall hereafter be chosen treasurer unless he shall have
been in commons two whole weeks in each of the two precedent
terms before such election, and shall have been personally present at
the bench table two several days at the least in each of the said
terms, except upon reasonable excuse.

MISCELLANEA.
1697, Nov. 2 2. -Depositions of Matthew Johnson, that about 12
0 clock or after on Saturday night last, " whilst he was lighting

344 A CALENDAR OF THE [1697
candles afresh, up in the back library," the master of the revels
came up to him and asked him in an angry manner what was the
cause of the stink in the hall, and at the same instant gave him a
box on the ear. The examinant answered he did not know the reason
of the annoyance, unless it came from the common sewer under the
library. To which the master of the revels replied that the said
examinant should go and see if that were the occasion, and as he was
going down the back stairs, the master of the revels kicked him upon
the back in a violent manner, but the examinant went to the bottom
of the stairs and showed him where the grate of the common sewer
was and from whence ill smells frequently came ; and from thence
the examinant went up the stairs again, and through the hall into
the buttery, and some little time after, the master of the revels came
down to the screen and charged the porters with permitting a person
to come into the hall that was said to bring a close stool or bucket,
upon which the examinant said that he believed no servant would
suffer any such person to come into the hall. The master of the
revels thereupon laid hold of the examinant by the hair and knocked
his head against the pillar of the buttery door ; and from thence led
him by the hair to the screen, where he gave the examinant into the
custody of Regnier, who also took hold of him by the hair. The
master of the revels then went towards the officers' room, and called
for the stocks, and this examinant hearing blows, which he apprehended
some other of the servants suffered, and seeing two or three
swords drawn, he forced himself out of Regnier's hands and ran down
the stairs, Regnier running after him, crying, " Stop, rogue !" The
examinant was stopped by two or three gentlemen in the cloisters
leading into Figtree Court, who with Regnier lugged him up the hall
stairs by the hair ; and so soon as they had brought him to the
screen, the master of the revels declared he would make an example
of him, and struck him several blows with a cane on the left arm and
side, and then forced him into the stocks, and put his leg into a little
hole of the stocks too small for his leg, pressing the stocks down,
whereby the skin of his leg was broken and the flesh bruised.
And
upon his crying out they put his leg into a bigger hole. There he
sat for about two hours, being then released by the intercession of
Henry Ashurst and Drue Dean. By reason of the said kick in his
back this examinant is full of pain and cannot stand upright, nor can

1698-9] INNER TEMPLE RECORDS.
345
he sit or stand long in any posture, although he has used proper
means by being blooded, taking inward applications and using searcloths
and bathing.

declaring they were beaten by the master of the revels and others.

3 F

402 A CALENDAR OF THE [1706-7
of the Temple, it was ordered that the said report be entered in the
book of orders of this society.
The report is dated 6 June, 1706, " We, the said committees,
having inspected and perused the books and entries of both the
societies, do find and are of opinion that the Master by his patent is
to find at his own charge the minister or reader and the clerk or
sexton, and to officiate daily by himself or deputy, and by his
patent hath a salary or pension from the Crown of 371i. 6s. 8d. per
annum.
" We also find and are of opinion that the soil of the church and
churchyard is in the societies, and that the ancient rates for burials
in respect of the ground are as followeth : In the round walk and
elsewhere below the chancel and aisle, los. ; in the benchers' aisle,
ill. ; in the gentlemen's aisle, 155. ; in the chancel beneath the steps,
Ill. 6s. ; in the chancel above the steps, 2/1.
" Which rates or duties do belong to the respective societies and
have been formerly collected and accounted for to them accordingly.
" We find that no stranger is to be buried in the church or
churchyard, without leave of the respective treasurers.
" We further find that the ancient burying fees are as followeth,
viz. :—To the curate for attending the corpse and service, 5s. ; to the
clerk for ringing the bell and attending, 4s. ; to the grave-maker and
for filling the grave and new laying the stone, 3s. 4d.
" But we do not find any sum mentioned to be payable to the
master if he is pleased to attend or officiate himself.
" We find the rates now taken for the ground and burying fees
to be as followeth, viz.: for all burials in the rounds, for the soil, Ifi.;
to the master, los. ; to the clerk, 5s. ; to the sexton, 2S. 6d.
" And in the aisles as followeth, viz. :—The side aisles, for the
ground, ill. los. ; for the master, los. The middle aisles, for the
ground, 2/i.; for the master, los. In the chancel and vaults, for the
ground, ; for the master, los.
" And that all strangers pay double for the ground and to the
master and officers, except in the chancel and vault, where strangers
pay 4/i. los. for the ground.
" And that the clerk and sexton take their fees as above for all
these burials, viz., 55. the clerk and 25. 6d. the sexton.
" And we further find that the late master did take and demand

1706-7] INNER TEMPLE RECORDS.
403
the fees above mentioned for the ground as well as his own fees ;
and that these fees for the vaults have been taken and claimed by
the master, notwithstanding the vaults were lately built by the two
societies.
" We also find tha*t Dr. Mittlethwaite, who was master of the
Temple in King Charles the First's time, did make several pretences
and demands before the then archbishop, the Council Board, and Star
Chamber, and that several hearings were thereupon had, and several
references and reports were made thereupon, and his then Majesty's
Council advised with therein, and that respective rolls were ordered
to be made by the societies the i9th May, 1637, to charge the
members of the societies in commons with 18d. a year a piece. And
afterwards, 2nd July, 1647, to charge the masters with 2S., the
barristers with 18d., and the gentlemen with is. apiece every term.
But that these were all limited during the pleasure of the societies
by their respective acts, as appears to us by the entries in the
books.
" And we further find that afterwards, in the late troublesome
times, several temporary provisions were made for the then masters
of the Temple, but that upon the Restoration, after several disputes,
24th November, 1661, the Inner House ordered 2 5/i. per quarter to
be paid to Dr. Ball in full of all dues and demands whatsoever, and
for the better raising the same, ordered a rate to be made upon the
respective members, but this not to be a precedent to any that should
succeed him. And that Dr. Ball during his life received the said 25/i.
per quarter.
" And that by an act of the Middle House, 3oth October, 1663,
it is ordered that the master be allowed 70/i. per annum for the
present, to be paid half yearly in lieu of all chambers and payments
whatsoever, and that the master during his life receive the said 70/i.
per annum.
" And we find that by an act of the 9th May, 1684, the Mic',die
Temple ordered Dr. Sherlock to be paid 70/11 per annum by half
yearly payments, in lieu of chambers and all other payments formerly
made to the master. And that the i5th June, 1684, by an act of
the Inner House, Dr. Sherlocke was ordered the same salary as Dr
Ball had, viz., 2 5/1. per quarter, to be raised as formerly for paying
Dr. Ball.

404 A CALENDAR OF THE [1706-7
" Upon the whole matter we are of opinion that the respective
payments 'made by the societies, as well before as since the Restoration,
were voluntary payments and not as of right or due, but were
made to the respective masters pursuant to the acts and orders of
both the societies, out of respect and as a temporary reasonable provision
for them.
" We do find that the master did formerly lay claim to the
several chambers and lodgings, but what right he had thereto or
what in particular they were or the values of them does nowhere
appear to us, but the payments have been made ever since 1661, as
above is mentioned.
" Agreed—Committees of the Inner Temple : John Clendon,
Tho. Walker, Robt. Payne, W. Barnesley, and Sam. Dodd. The
Middle Temple : Pet. Broughton, H. Hetherington, Jos. Offley, and
John Radford.
" And it is also ordered that the further consideration of the said
report be referred to the Friday Committee."

number of books of law and history, antiquity and parliamentary
proceedings, did, the twelfth day of July in the fourth year of her

testament in writing and therein and thereby among other things
did give and devise the said books of law, history, and antiquity
and parliamentary proceedings (which cost him many years' pains
and study and stood him in much charge in collecting) to Joseph
Offley, esq., Richard Webb, esq., Humphrey Hetherington, esq.,
John Anstis, esq., John Chamberlaine, esq., and his brother, Silvester
Petyt, his trustees, in trust and to the intent and purpose that they
would use their utmost endeavours for preserving and keeping them
safe and entire for public use in such place or places as they, or the
major part of them, or the survivor or survivors of them, from time
to time should appoint, and not to suffer or permit them to be embezzled
or sold ; for which purpose he did give one hundred and
fifty pounds to buy or build a place and making it convenient for

preserving and keeping them, which is to be settled upon his
trustees or the survivors of them, or the heirs of the survivor of
them in fee simple in trust, for the purpose aforesaid, and in and by
his said will he did earnestly desire his trustees that they would in
convenient time after his decease (in justice to truth and his memory)
procure such of his manuscripts, as they should think fit, to be
printed, to remain for public use to posterity. And in and by his
said will he did give to the honourable society of the Middle Temple
fifty pounds to be laid out by his executor to buy books, for augmenting
their library, and he did give to this honourable society of the
Inner Temple, fifty pounds, to be laid out for buying books, towards
a library, here to be erected, and of his said will did make his said
brother executor, who hath proved the same. And whereas application
hath been made by several persons to the said trustees touching
the disposing of and placing the said books in several places out of
this society. And whereas several members of this society have
desired the said books may be placed here and for that the said
William Petyt in his life time when keeper of the said records in the
said Tower of London, did invite many students in the law to go to
the Tower to search and see the records there and take out of them
what notes or abstracts they pleased, gratis, it was proposed by the
trustees to such of the members of this society who desired that the
said books might be placed here, that if this society would provide
a place for a library for placing the said books and preserving the
same for public use to all the purposes as mentioned, in and according
to the true intent and meaning of the said will, that then the said
trustees would consent that the said books should be placed in this
society in such place which by this society should be provided for a
library. And the said Sylvester Petyt would pay unto this society or
such person or persons as this society should appoint, the said sum of
one hundred and fifty pounds, given by the said will to buy or build
a place for preserving and keeping the said books, which said
members of this society did assure the said trustees that the said
proposal would be very gratefully accepted by this society and performed
in all its parts according to the true intent and meaning
thereof and of the said will ; and in pursuance thereof this society,at
the proper costs and charges of this society for the purpose aforesaid,
hath erected and built a very spacious and handsome room, wherein
419

42 0 A CALENDAR OF THE [1709
several of the said books are already placed and wherein the
remainder of the said books and other the books which shall by this
society be bought with the said fifty pounds, given as aforesaid, are
to be placed, it is at this present parliament ordered that the thanks
of this society shall, by the treasurer of this society, be given to the
said trustees for their kindness and favour in consenting to and permitting
the said books to be placed within the society, and it is
enacted that when the said books shall be placed in the said library
the same shall be preserved and kept safe and entire for public use,
to all intents and purposes and according to the true intent and
meaning of the said will, and that the said trustees or any of them or
any person or persons employed by them or the major part of them,
shall and may from time to time and at all times hereafter take
copies or make abstracts of such of the said manuscripts, as they
shall think fit, in order to be printed, to remain for public use to
posterity, according to the directions and true intent and meaning of
the said will. And it is further ordered that any of the said trustees
shall from time to time upon request made to the library keeper,
receive out of the said library at once, any one of the said manuscript
books which he shall desire to have, upon the receipt whereof
he shall give a note to the library keeper to return and redeliver the
same safe and entire within two months after the receipt thereof into
the said library, to be placed there, which the said library keeper
shall deliver the same upon giving such note.1 Provided that none
of the said trustees shall have above one book at a time, and until
such book be delivered into and placed in the library such trustee
shall not have another, and upon the redelivering of such books, the
library keeper shall deliver up the notes given for the delivery of
such books respectively. And as to the payment of the said one
hundred and fifty pounds, it is desired and hereby appointed that the
same be paid to Sir William Simpson, treasurer of this society, who,
upon the payment thereof to him, shall give such a receipt for the
same in such manner as the said Silvester Petyt shall think fit to
direct, and it is further ordered that each of the said trustees shall
have a copy hereof attested by the treasurer."

those that are absent, which hath been thought a discouragement to
gentlemen being in commons and taking up the said exercise. The
masters of the bench having taken this matter into consideration,
and being more desirous to have the exercise performed than the
non-performance punished, have thought fit to order and do hereby
order as followeth, viz. :—
That no gentleman under the bar that shall have duly performed
the said exercise for any one term, shall from thenceforth be
amerced for any future non-performance thereof.
That no gentleman at the bar that hath duly performed the
said exercise for any one term, shall from thenceforth be amerced for
any future non-performance thereof.
That no gentleman at the bar or under the bar that is
present and attends the performance of the said exercise, shall be
amerced for want of number, but those only that are absent shall be
amerced, whether of the bar or under the bar, respectively, according
as the failure is on the one part or on the other.
" Provided that nothing in this order contained shall be construed
to excuse the masters of the bar mess, when the exercise is tendered
by the gentlemen under the bar and taken up by the bar, from any
default of going down into the Rounds, or about breaking the case
there, or giving due commencement to the said exercise, according
to the usage of the House.
" Provided also that nothing herein contained be construed to
excuse any gentleman of the bar or under the bar, who shall haVe
actually performed the said exercise, from his attendance upon the
performance thereof by others, according to the usage of the House
in such manner, as if this order had not been made.
" Lastly that it may not be in the power of the bar, by their
431

432 A CALENDAR OF THE [1712
default, to prevent the gentlemen under the bar from the benefit of
this exercise, it is further ordered that in case the exercise be taken
up in due time by the gentlemen under the bar, and they continue to
tender during the terms, and the exercise be not taken up by the
bar, or if it be taken up by the bar, and they make default, and there
be no default or failure on the part of the gentlemen under the bar,
this shall be allowed to such gentlemen under the bar for an exercise
duly performed."

Inner Temple Library, Petyt MSS., No. 538, vol. 17, fol. 388.
In' this question between the Temple and the City there are
two things considerable,
The right prxtended to on each side.
The way and means of asserting that right.
1. As to the point of right these things may be fitt to be
consider'd.
What is not the Question.
What the grounds are upon which the Temple claym to
be exempted from the jurisdiction of the City.
Upon what grounds the City do oppose that clayme.
The great inconveniences if the priviledge of the Temple
be not in some measure continued.
The no inconvenience to the City by the continuance of
it.
I. First then it is not the question whether the Temple be in
London, that is confest of all hands, much less is it a question of
personall respect or disrespect to the Lord Maior and Aldermen that
now are, for never was the City governed by a maior and aldermen
more known and better respected then every one of these are. But
B[lew]."
1 At the top right-hand corner of MS. is written " Finch's Argumt Koshuaj

464 APPENDIX NO. II.
the true question is whether the Temple, though in London, be not
a place exempted from their jurisdiction as many other places in
London heretofore were, and as at this day some are, viz :—St.
Martins le Grand, etc.
II. Now the Temple conceive themselves to be exempted upon
these grounds.
They doubt not to prove that the soyl whereupon the
Inner Temple and most part of the Middle Temple
stands, was antiently exempted when it was in the
possession of the Knights Templars.
That by their dissolution it came to Thomas, Earle of
Lancaster and Leycester, as belonging to the Honour
of Leycester and continued exempted till by Act of
Parliament, it was settled on the Hospitellers, who held
it exempted till the dissolution.
That by the dissolution of monasterys it came to the
Crown and continued there as a separate Franchise till
the pattent of 6th Jacobi.
That by the pattent of King James the soyl is granted
away with generall words sufficient to revive and
continue all antient priviledges.
That accordingly the Temple hath enjoyed ye priviledge
ever since the dissolution of monasterys, though all
occasions of bringing this point into question have been
avoyded on both sides, as much as might be.
That in the late times when the government was by an
army and great courtship made to the City, yet they
were never suffered to exercise any kind of authority
in the Temple.
III. The reasonablnes of this will better appear if it be considered
upon what grounds the City claime a jurisdiction in the
Temple, which are very weak. For
The City have no Charter which by any express words
puts this place under their power, and the meer scituation
in London will not do it if there be a right of
exemption.
They have expresse words in the charter granted by
King James by which Coleherbert, Smithfield, Blackfriers,
and White-friers are added to their jurisdiction
which shews that without these speciall words the
exemptions, which the antient monasterys enjoyed, had
still continued.
That which is yet more remarkable is, That the pattent
granted by King James to the City of London bears
date 14 dayes after the Grant made to the Temple, and
therefore no generall words in the City Charter can
subject ye Temple which was exempted before.

APPENDIX NO. II. 465
IV. The inconveniences were insupportable if there should be a
right in the City of jurisdiction in the Temple,
I. Where the City hath a right of jurisdiction, they may by
Act of Comon Councell impose taxes, make parish
Officers, Scavengers, etc.
If the City have jurisdiction in the Temple, a pleint
entered in the Counter, without his Majesties writ, will
be a sufficient warant to arrest any man in the Temple,
Then can no debtor in a long vacation come to a
lawyer's chamber for counsell.
No lawyer can sit safe in his study for he by his profession
is bound to keep his chamber doors open, and then
any City officer may come in and fetch him out of his
study and carry him to prison.
Many lawyers are trusted with keeping of the evidences
of divers gentlemen, but if the City have a jurisdiction
they may by a pretended execution in a long vacation,
take all the books and trunks in a lawyer's chamber,
and so many may come to loose their evidences.
This at last must dissolve the societyes of the Temples
and cause all students to admitt themselves of Lincoln's
Inn or Gray's Inn out of my Lord Maior's reach.
V. The City suffers no inconvenience by the continuance of this
priviledge. For
. 'Tis not a priviledge against his Mars writts nor against
any commands of the Great Seal but onely against ye
sergeants, bailiffs and officers of the Counter.
Even in these cases it is familiar upon due application
made and leave obtained to connive at the proceedings.
Where leave cannot be had to do that, yet a process of
outlary is never resisted, for that is his Mat" suit and
contains in itselfe a Non omillas proper aliquam liberlatem
so the creditor is at no great delay.
If it be said that sometimes bankrupts are sheltered here,
that may be said as well against the Libertie of St
Martin's le Grand, and indeed against all liberties. But
'tis denyed that ever there were three cases of that
nature, for upon information to the benchers that they
are no members of this society, they are usually
delivered up.
So 'tis conceived upon the whole matter that the claims made by
the Temple to this priviledge are either very justifiable or at least
very excusable.
In the last place as to the wayes and meanes which have been
used in asserting this right it is humbly prayed.
. That the right it selfe may not receive any prejudice or
diminution by any ill circumstance in the defence of it,
3 o

466 APPENDIX NO. II.
If anything have been done against ye lawes of hospitality
or good manners they beg pardon for it with all the
submissions that can be. But they hope the contrary
will appear, and that my Lord Maior had notice the
ceremony was not adjusted and was desired to stay
away.
Most of the persons who are now sommoned are perfectly
innocent, knew nothing of the matter before it begun,
did little or nothing in it when it was begun, and are
onely guilty of not taking part against a collegiat
society into which they stand so lately admitted.
All of them do most humbly cast themselves at his
Ma"es feet and pray they may not be lookt on as contemners
of his authority in defence of which they are
ready to sacrifice their lives.

28 Charles II., A.D. 1675-6, Feb. 29. Indenture made between
Francis, Lord Hawley, Sir Charles Harbord, knt., his Majesty's
surveyor general, Sir William Haward of Tannridge in the county
of Surrey, knt., Sir John Talbott of Lacock in the county of Wilts,
knt., and William Harbord of Grafton Park in the county of Northampton,
esq., surviving trustees for the sale of fee farm rents and
other rents, of the first part, John Lindsay of London, goldsmith, of
the second part, and the hon. Daniel Finch, Heneage Finch, and
William Finch, esquires, sons of Heneage, Lord Finch, baron of
Daventry and lord high chancellor of England, of the third part,
Reciting that whereas by several Acts of Parliament and Letters
Patent divers fee farm and other rents were vested in the said Francis
Lord Hawley and others amongst which rents was all that annual or
fee farm rent of ten pounds reserved out of all that inn, capital
messuage, and building, called the Inner Temple, London, within
Temple Bar, granted by Letters Patent of 13 August, 6 James I, to
Sir Julius Cxsar and others under the said yearly rent of ten pounds.
And whereas the said rent of ten pounds was amongst other things
settled in the King's consort Queen Katherine for life as parcel of
her jointure, and whereas John Lindsay had contracted for the
purchase of the said rent, but in consideration of the sum of four
score pounds, paid by the said Daniel Finch, Heneage Finch, and

APPENDIX NO. IV. 467
William Finch out of the treasury of the Inner Temple has directed
the said trustees to convey the said rent to the said Daniel Finch,
Heneage Finch, and William Finch. The indenture witnesses that
the said Francis, Lord Hawley and others of the first part, in consideration
of seventy-eight pounds one shilling and eleven pence and

reversion and remainder of the said rent, to hold the same for ever,
provided always that it shall be lawful for the Queen, her officers,
and assigns, during the term of her life, to receive the said rent as
beneficially as she might have done before the making of these
presents.
APPENDIX NO. IV.
INNER TEMPLE GRACE BOOK.
We find by the table of contents, that this volume formerly contained,
amongst other things, certain graces which are now lost ; there
are, however, two graces, inserted in a later hand, to which reference
is made later on. The folios of this book are of parchment ; many
of them are now missing, and some of those that remain are stained
with galls and other liquids and are rubbed, probably from constant
use in the hall. Unfortunately in the process of the numerous rebindings
which the work has undergone, the margins have been cut
down so that the MS. has been in places destroyed. It is in the
writing of two hands, both probably of about 1505, the date of the
death of John Nethersole, in memory of whom the book, according
to a note hereafter referred to, was provided. The earlier part,
containing introductory explanations of the tables and kalendars
which follow, judging from the English used, was probably copied
from an earlier MS. The handwriting of this portion is regular and
good, in the rest of the book it is ordinary. In the introductory explanations
there is one four line initial letter in dark blue, with good
penwork in red, and with a penwork ornament in red and blue
running down the left hand side of the page. There are four twoline
initial letters in blue with penwork in red. The letters K L., for
Kalenda for each month in the kalendar, are in blue with red penwork,
all of them being of the same design.
The following is a copy of the Table of Contents ; against

The tables and kalendar remaining are curious and interesting,
and are as follows : (I) A table showing how to distinguish between
the " Angrym " or Arabic and Latin or Roman numerals. (2) A
table to find the Sunday Letter and movable feasts. (3) A kalendar
giving in columns the day of the month, the time of dawn, the time
of sunrise, the signs of the Zodiac, the meridian, the Roman kalendar,
the saints days apparently according to the Sarum use, conjunctions
of the planets, the phases of the moon, sunset, and time that twilight
ends. (4, 5, and 6) Certain astronomical tables. Below the kalendar
for the months are some curious rhymes in Latin, which are as
follows :

After the kalendar and tables is the following note in the handwriting
of Joshua Blew, butler of the Inner Temple during the early
part of the eighteenth century :
" Provided that on festival dayes whenne it shall happen the
mayster of the Temple to be present that then the Grace to be referred
to his seying.
" And if the Grace Book be not sett on the borde that then the
botelers to forfeit every oon of them a penny to be paid incontinent

etc.
" According to the ordinaunce thys present boke is made for a
remembrance the xxjst yere of King Henry VI Ith and the year of our
Lorde 1505 as above."
On a slip of paper pasted into the book are two graces in the
same hand. They are here given as spelt by Blew.
" Sit nomen Domini benedictum.
" Blessed be ye name of ye Lord.

" Benedicite Dominus.
" Oculi omnium in te spectant, Domine, et tu das escam illorum
